I have a dinosaur in my toilet

[theillustratedmum12]

A tiny green triceratops to be exact. And yes... I accidentally weed on it.

The culprit could be the one year or the eight year old. Both equally likely in their own special ways. The one year old is a law upon himself but I can't think of when he has been left unattended long enough to commit such a crime. The eight year old wouldn't have done it on purpose, but he's notorious for carrying small objects everywhere. One may have taken an ill fated plunge. Then again the culprit could be me. Perhaps he was waiting in my pocket, for the perfect great escape.

Now I'm faced with the hygienic matter of how I get him out? Do I

A) sacrifice the kitchen tongs and then burn them afterwards?
B) Do I flush and risk a plumbing disaster?
C) I will not use my hands.
D) Do we now just accept that our tiny green friend now resides in the toiletpool.

Oh for heaven's sake. Stop making such a drama and just fish it out and wash your hands. Or put a bag over your hand first.

Its a bit of your own watered down pee. Don't be so ridiculously squeamish. Fish it out and wash it in warm soapy water.

As they say, first post nails it.

You've already touched your own body with those hands on many occasions. Anything in the bowl is massively diluted.

Be an adult, retrieve the dinosaur, wash it and your hands afterwards.

Fish it out, give it a wash then wash your hands.

Come again? 🫩

Maybe the OP is making a light-hearted post?
It was very imaginative and well written I'm guessing it was just a bit of banter?
It's hard to believe someone would really ask others how to retrieve a toy out of a family toilet bowl that's just been weed in.😂
If I'm wrong, then the first few posts are what I would be saying too FFS!

Just take it out and wash it - what's the problem? If you're precious about bodily functions, wear rubber gloves.

Its your urine just grab it leaving it to post on here means your risking someone else going for a dump

Tongs, complete the rescue mission, Dino and tongs in the dishwasher.

Fun OP.

I think you should allow the dinosaur to remain in the toilet, or primordial swamp as it should now be named.

I had to get a Gameboy out of a toilet once. Little ds dropped it in. After he’d weed. I don’t know why or how.

I just heard a wail of despair.

I dropped my phone in the loo for the first time ever recently.
Of course, I don’t think twice about it, just fished it out, dried it with loo roll and then washed my hands.
The phone had a wipe down with an alcohol wipe to make sure it was clean after I’d made sure there was no water lurking in any sockets or other holes.
Unless you want to risk clogging up the toilet you’re going to have to deal with poor loo-asauras at some point!

My elderly mum decided to embrace new technology (finally) and treated herself to a mobile phone.

On the first day she had it she bent over the loo to pull the flush, her new phone tipped out of her apron pocket and was whooshed around the u-bend.

I dropped one of my AirPods in the loo , ( I was doing some cleaning ) I grabbed it with my Marigolds clad hands , washed it under the hot tap , dried it DH bath towel and popped it back in my ear

Thats what I would recommend doing

Reader , I survived , I’m sure Dino will too

this isn’t as witty as you think

I fished something out of the toilet pan when I had pooed in it once. (An earring - don't ask.) I used an empty cardboard tube to scoop it out. (Didn't touch the poo with it OR my hand, but yeah, ewwwwww.!) 😆

Runs for cover. >>>>>>>>>> 🏃

p.s. @theillustratedmum12 Just pick it out with your hand, and then chop your hand off.

Joking! Do not chop your hand off! 😆 Just wash it!

.

Does nobody have a sense of humour on Mumsnet anymore?!

OP, it’s his toilet now, you must leave him in there but ask permission every time you need to use it.

Did the airpods survive?!

Of course, but it needs to be something funny.

Oh no! I wonder if it's still there. 😆

Let me spell that correctly for youdishwasher BIN

@theillustratedmum12 goldfish tank net. But if not I'd just grab him out. My toilet is clean & id just wash my hands/arm & the toy.

unless your toilet is minging, why wouldn't you. Presumably you've been pregnant, given birth & dealt with nappies for 2 kids, how can you still be so squeamish

I might have dropped my most favourite small dolphin down the loo as a child. It was retrieved using a pair of rubber cleaning gloves, which were promptly disposed of after the rescue mission. 😁

If you have ever been drinking in an old fashioned Paris cafe and dropped your car keys down the communal hole in the ground toilet at midnight, you would by now be less squeamish. Put your hand in, woman, then wash it and the keys.
