 The wife and I were drinking our coffee, while a fair bit of commotion was coming from our daughter in the bathroom.

She came out and very shyly said "'Scuse me." 

We've been working with her on manners and not interrupting, so this was very encouraging.

She continued very sweetly, "There's a pwoblem in the potty."

That was decidedly less encouraging.

 This takes me back.  My youngest, with Down Syndrome, had chronic, severe constipation.  As a two year old, he'd hold it and then it would come out like a rock hard softball that would clog our toilets.  We actually had to replace our toilets with ones with larger drains because of it.  Luckily he outgrew it many years ago, but you're post really took me back. 
 The things we do for our kids! 🤣  
 It also reminds me of the time he decided to paint the bathroom with poop using his electric toothbrush.

I'll admit, I didn't just wash it and replace the head, I threw the whole thing away.  Ewww!
