200th post!

In honor of my 200th post, I have a story to tell.
This morning was spent on a relatively simple phone call to my cell phone carrier's insurance company requesting a new phone. Why you ask? My phone took a little swim in the toilet last night thanks to...you guessed it! My 10 month old son.
Honestly, I couldn't be mad at him because he wasn't even grabbing for my phone. He was going for a hairbrush. When he picked up said hairbrush he somehow sailed my phone the 2 feet or so towards the toilet and SPLASH! To make matters worse I hadn't flushed yet. Yes, my friends, I had to get my phone out of the toilet (gross!) and the water had pee in it (seriously.) At least it was just pee...and it was my pee. :) Because if either of those two factors were not true, I'm afraid that phone would have been sacrificed to the sewer gods. For reals.
So being as though my phone is was a touchscreen, the water didn't do it any favors. In fact, just leaving the battery in the phone was making it hot to the touch. So I'm rocking the trusty blue razr until they can send me my "reconditioned" phone. I'm not too thrilled about the reconditioned part, especially since I didn't like my phone to begin with.
The moral of the story is: even if you only have the toilet lid up for a few seconds to actually use it, and you aren't worried about the item your son is grabbing because it's "just a hairbrush" remember, babies have an uncanny ability to do things you never thought possible. Like picking up a hairbrush and sailing a phone across the room and perfectly landing it in a toilet, nothing but net water. My kid is a phenom, what can I say?
