junior plumber strikes again

Will I never learn? What would a sane parent do if their almost three year old said "I have to use the potty now, you stay right there" and then came back to make sure I was staying there? Yeah, I knew I shouldn't have stayed put. After a good six minutes of quiet (yes, I can see you cringing--stop it), I was headed toward the bathroom when I heard a whimper and the start of pitiful crying. I reached the doorway (thank goodness he didn't shut and lock the door) to find water EVERYWHERE. My toilet is over 8 feet from the door. There was water in the hallway. I looked in to find Dennis wielding the toilet brush, still fully clothed, SOAKED from head to toe, and crying. The bottle of toilet bowl cleaner was lying on the floor. There were bubbles in the toilet. He apparently slipped in all the water and bumped his elbow and forearm. He assures me he didn't taste the cleaner (which is most fortunately an all-natural one that would not harm him). He says he was just cleaning the toilet. He got so involved in it that the pull-up that was dry when he left for the bathroom was full of the liquid he was supposed to be putting in the toilet. These are the less-than-glorious parenting moments, the ones that test your capacity for frustration. I thanked him for trying to be helpful but explained that he didn't have to clean the toilet because he could get hurt. He nodded and said "yes, sir". I think I'm the only one that learned a lesson.
