Beware Of Creatures In The Toilet

Tweet

I was just wondering if you have had an experience similar to the one my three year old son and I had a few months ago. My wife was recently pregnant and during the process we made several trips to the doctor. Well something crazy occurred on one visit. My son, daughter and I were in the lobby waiting for my wife. My son asked if he could go to the restroom. Being three he needed a little help so I accompanied him to give assistance. When he was finished he asked for help flushing the toilet. As I tried to push down the handle...I noticed that the handle was not working properly...it was as if there was something plugging it up. I began to investigate and low and behold...what I saw startled me so much that I jumped three steps back and almost fell over. There it was... a drenched brown squirrel staring up me! The poor little critter had gotten caught in the plumbing and was now struggling to get out. I made sure to move my son out of the bathroom and shouted the news to the other people in the office, "There is a squirrel in the toilet!" Of course, everyone in the waiting room and all the office personal came to see for themselves because one on believed me at first. After they saw him they were dumbfounded too. How did he get in there? As they watched the very unhappy squirrel struggled but could not get out. Fortunately for the squirrel, the doctor showed up. When he saw the squirrel he grabbed a bag and some gloves and rescued him and moved him outside to safety. I'm glad my son is a brave little guy as other children may have been terrified to use the toilet again after such an experience. Has anyone else ever had anything similar happen to them. I am just glad it was not a snake!
