Yellow And Blue Make Green

I'm having flashbacks.  Flashbacks to being a young child at my grandmother's house. 

Why you ask?

The flashbacks are coming every time I go to the bathroom in our home and see blue water in the toilet bowls.  My grandmother was a big fan of putting those toilet cleaning blocks in the tank of the toilet, so that with every blue flush, a fresh scented clean would come into the bowl.   I can't really say if these flashback memories are good or bad, they are just really weird.  Whatever.

I guess The Lady was trying to send me a message that I might have let the toilets go without a cleaning, because now all bowls in our house are an amazing, bright aqua blue.  Yes, the blue you sometimes find in liquid of a port-a-potty.  Mmmm, breathe deep!

It seems like that in the summer, there's something in the water here that makes it if you don't hit the bowl with a brush every third day or so, a temporary ring starts to develop around the bowl where the water line is.  Now the problem is solved because it seems we will have a permanent blue line now.

All of this blue water was confusing to Doodlbug at first and she is still a little weary of it. 

I really can't complain about her bathroom functions at all, she went from having major issues dropping a deuce, to sleeping all night with big girl underwear on and not a single accident.  Yes, I'm knocking on my solid wood head right now.  She also is doing her part to save the environment, living by the following creed.

If it's yellow, let it mellow.  If it's brown, flush it down.

I can't say that I'm the biggest fan of that, so we have come up with a little system working with primary colors that might help to solve that.  Yellow and blue make green, so when the water is green let's flush it down.

Welcome to art class.

How cute! Maybe I can make up a rhyme that will remind my four year old not to leave "keepers" in the toilet. It's not so bad at home, but he does it at other people's houses, too. Keepers are definitely bad manners, no matter what color the toilet water is.
