Hey Jakey,

Short one today. Is there ANYTHING about the above contraption that looks flushable? Huh? Does it say ANYWHERE on the box that says it can be conveniently swirled away down the toilet? No, and again, a resounding NO.

But that didn't stop your daddy. He finished swabbing his filthy toilet, clicked on the handle to release the abrasive scrubby pad with attached hard plastic housing, and flushed away.

We will probably need to call the landlord, who will in turn call us idiots and tell us to call the plumber our-own-damn-selves.

Your daddy's response? "But I thought that was the whole point of a disposable toilet scrubber... that you can flush them down the toilet when you're done."

I love you both dearly, sweetheart, but sometimes you both get on my very last nerve.
