At 9:30 pm my phone was retrieved from the potty. The toilet had to be "pulled" according to my plumber, a.k.a. my husband. Look how many people it takes to work on this potty in a super small bathroom too. So you can google pretty much anything in the world and I thought it was worth a chance so I googled "cell phone in toilet" and there's a ton of info about this. Apparently this happens to tons of people all the time and believe it or not but some people have dropped theirs in the toilet more than once -- seems like you might learn after the first time. I didn't feel bad after reading stories of phones being dropped in sinks while washing dishes, rivers, bowls of soup, cups of coffee and tea, and someone dropped theirs in apple juice in their car???? Evidently sticky apple juice is pretty much the end of your phone! Most people tell tales of using a hair dryer on low heat to dry it out. Some people are putting theirs in the oven on warm for 1/2 hour and it dried the phone out well but others reported it melted the phone. I didn't think that sounded so great. I did the hair dryer thing and now it's sitting in a bag full of uncooked rice to help absorb more moisture. I even got it to turn on today but it wouldn't do anything else so I think I'll dry it more than see if it will work. My mother in law said she washed hers in the washing machine and it worked after but wouldn't hold a charge well but it still worked. So I'm crossing my fingers . . . in the meantime I'm hoping the kids weren't so intrigued by the whole working on the potty thing that they don't start "accidentally" dropping things in there. And now I don't know how my plumber ever gets any work done with out his three "assistants".

This whole phone thing cracks me up. Why does this only happen to NEW phones? I bet your husband loved all the "help" lol.
That is so funny! And such a cute picture!! My hubby is a plumber too and so far (knock on wood) we haven't had any problems with phones in the toilet...although Ryker has put a whole roll of toilet paper in there!!! Good luck with getting your phone to work :)
