The bathroom’s broke!

“Mom, the bathroom’s broke.   MOM, the bathroom’s broke.   No mom,  the bathroom’s BROKE!”   (yelled by 4 yo son)

Normally such screaming would leave a mother running for the bathroom, expecting all kinds of gross mess.   But that is not what we have here.

I walk past the bathroom to see my 4yo son with the cover off the toilet tank, working with the mechanisms inside the tank, shirt soaked.   As I told him to get down and pulled him from the toilet, those were the words he screamed.    Off to a timeout while I clean up the watery floor and wet toilet.   I let him down with a firm warning to not fix the toilet ever again; without asking for help first.

What is his very  next move?   He finds his plastic tools and examines them all carefully.   Clearly getting ready for the next family emergency.   Please, God, help me see the humor in this.
