...and then a big brown shark came...

It was just a regular bath time, ducks were happily swimming, the flannel was floating and the tommee tippee squeezie fish were a squirting.
Happy giggles of laughter arose from the aqua playpen (otherwise known as 'bath'), and a cute little girl gleefully splashed her daddy.
Mummy was wandering round gathering the discarded toys of the days play, laying out fresh(ly ironed - NOT!) pjammers and fluffing teddy bears in readiness for a peaceful nights slumber
WHEN this idyllic family scene was shattered by the terrified yell of daddy....

"Ahh, gonna need a little help here!"

Well now it had to happen. We have all heard about it, the myths, the stories, the legends.
And finally it was our turn...

Lucy SHAT in the BATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eeeewwwwww!

I raced in to find Lucy on the outside of the bath and on the inside of the bath a rather large sharkie and some bubby ones too.
All I could do was laugh, and I almost wet myself. Jon was giggling and Lucy was excitedly jiggling cos of all the commotion she had caused.
By the way Lucy was now on the outside of the bath as she had been intent on grabbing her new bath toys.
Eewww-eewww-eewww!

"What do we do now?"
Well we do what every good scrapbooker does - we take a photo!
After all this is a first in our small daughters life!

THEN we worry about just how to clean it all up.

Having never had to worry about this sort of thing before I pose this question to all our faithfull readers out there, Just how do you clean up shit floating in a bath?

Do you A: Scoop it out like a mature adult and dispose of it
thoughtfully

or B: Use that pasta server utensil thingy often found in drawer
no 2, that no-one ever uses!

or C: Pull the plug, let the water drain and squish it through
the grate, after all pipes are pipes - right?

Well who really cares cos I left that wee jobbie (hee hee poo joke) up to jon, as it seriously has to be a mans job!
He did mention tho that poo amazingly does not smell while under the cover of water, but regains its full power when dredged from the depths.
My face cheeks are hurting with all the giggling we have done tonight, as it has to be one of the funniest things I have experienced as a parent/adult.

Well must be off, BB uncut is on!!

Ohh and Jon informs me that it is possible to leave skid marks under water....not speaking from experience of course!
