What happened to Bob?

I was walking into our bedroom when I heard Eric exclaim from the bathroom – I can’t believe that!!! Ok I should clarify, Jack had pooped his pants and Eric was attending to him in the bathroom. (I contemplated saying Jack soiled his pants because poop in print just seems a little harsh but as you can see I ignored that contemplation. I ignored it because soiled just sees more shameful somehow and Jack is 2.5, he is allowed to still poop his pants.) I had asked Olivia to please bring Daddy new underwear for Jack. ( I asked her because she is currently on a – I love to help, aren’t I a great helper- kick. And she is a great helper always. Which reminds me of one of my and Eric’s favorite Saturday morning cartoons from the early 90’s – Eek the Cat. Eek’s motto was – It never hurts to help!) Olivia ran and got the cool batman underwear that we somehow inherited from the preschool when Olivia was there. She was standing outside the bathroom door when Eric let loose with his exclamation. So what was it that Eric just could not believe? He could not believe that Olivia could throw the underwear just as he was flushing and that the underwear actually made it right into the potty just as it swooshed and the batman underwear escaped to the sea or at least the sewer system. I mean the odds on that happening were pretty slim so it was cool. Jack was convinced that it was his Bob the Builder underwear that had gone down the potty and for an hour afterward he kept saying Bob de Builder down the potty, Down the potty Bob. I caught him a few times just looking into the potty with hope that Bob would resurface.
