Stealth Technology (or something)

What I haven't mentioned to you, dear bloggy friends, is that our first floor toilet pooped out on us sometime last weekend (pun intentional).

That means that every time Connor has to go to the bathroom, I have to help him over the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs (that keeps Lex from wandering up) so that he can go, well, you know, go.

Our handy family plumber (Kevin) proclaimed the toilet un-repairable amidst great anticipation and joy. He had read about a new Stealth Toilet online, and since we needed a new toilet, he was going to get us that one. The golden toilet of all things manly and toilet-y.

So, Kevin ordered our new Stealth Toilet online, and has been waiting at the window for the UPS truck nightly ever since.

And UPS delivered today.

The delivery man, bless his heart, informed me that the boxes were very heavy, and he wondered if I had any idea what could be inside them. I told him that it was a toilet, and he gave me a look that clearly said, "You have got to be shitting me." (Yes, that pun was intentional, too.)

So, tonight, Kevin came home from work, and proceeded to unpack and unwrap and inspect his toilet, all before bothering to ask what was for dinner. Much less eat it.


I still don't know what all the fuss is about. To me, it's just a replacement toilet. Maybe I'll change my mind after I actually get to use it. But, because I know I'm not doing this fine product justice, I think I'll just let it speak for itself:

The ONLY 0.8 gpf toilet in the WORLD!

And now, for what I believe is this funniest part of this evening. While Lex was admiring the new toilet, he was also playing with Daddy's car keys. So of course, the keys got dropped into a tiny little hole where no one could get them back out. There was a brief panic and a few minutes of searching for a strong magnet before we just tipped the toilet over and shook them back out.

Here the keys go, down the hole

When I see this picture, I can actually hear Lex saying, "Uh-oh!"

(I'm just glad that I saw him do it, or else we would have had a really hard time finding those keys in the morning when Daddy had to go to work!)

And now, let the anticipation begin...for the next time you visit, you may get to experience the Stealth Toilet firsthand! I know you must be jealous!
