Taking the Plunge(r)

When new parents come home from the hospital after the babies birth, they are usually loaded down with free samples of stuff. Things like diapers, formula, bottles, baby wash and other assorted things. However I've come to realize that they don't give you one of the essentials. Namely a toilet plunger. Before I had kids, I don't think I ever had to use one let alone having one in the house. Now I have three of them. With a four year old in the house who loves toilet paper, I have even started to have my favorite one. How sad is that?? The standard upside down bowl shaped ones just don't do the trick. You have to use a special shaped one so the water doesn't splash back at you as you are frantically plunging away. You have to be especially fast on the upstairs clogs. Don't want them all over the floor where it can leak to the downstairs.

And don't even get me started on toilet snakes........
