So my son is in a phase where he likes to toss things into containers of water. So far this includes the kitchen sink and toilet bowl. As a habit I close the lid of the toilet bowl, because I got tired of fishing out his train and plastic windable sabre tooth tiger. But yesterday, incidentally everyone was busy watching Third Rock from the Sun and Omar had made another number in the diaper. So I took him upstairs to change. In between drying him and trying to get a diaper on, I realized he wanted to do another number so I quickly lifted him up and put him on the toilet seat. Cleaned up and free to go, I released the kraken and went to get the diaper so another chase can ensue. Before I realized what had happened, I heard a loud dunk.
Sure enough he had somehow grabbed my phone from the table and threw into the toilet bowl. Luckily, I remembered to flush right after he did his business.
(Unlike this guy:
Haha. But he was lucky because he took the necessary steps to dry. I, in my callous haste, turned off the phone, wiped it with tissues then handed it over to people I thought knew better and said "Omar dropped my phone in the toilet bowl, can you dry it?"
Half a day went by and I (stupidly) asked if my phone is dry. The wiser party apparently was not so wise and said "Yea probably". So we turned it on, and then I said I wanted to check my camera. So we turned on the camera. And before you know it. RIP iphone 6.

(Unlike this guy:
I also dropped my iPhone 6 into the toilet, and even peed on it a little before fishing it out, which took about 1.5 seconds. I immediately turned it off and hugged it with blankets and a nearby teddy bear. Then, I diligently put it in rice for 24 hours, but I was in Miami and all I could find was flavored rice from CVS, so now the phone smells like chicken stock but thankfully it works completely. iPhone 6s can swim, briefly. )
