Replacing the toilet led to ripping out the the porous thirty-year-old tile floor....
which led to knocking out all the tile around the bathtub...
which led to removing the "vintage" (code for old and gross) vanity....
which led to excising the drywall damaged in the process of removing the vanity from the bathroom.
As we patted ourselves on the backs and and admired our accomplishments of the evening, my husband and I were suddenly struck with the horrific realization that our compulsive demolition of the kids' bathroom comes with a consequence: namely, that what we took apart must be put back together again.
Rest assured, our foolishness will not go unpunished. Until we fix this mess, our daily penance will be sharing a toilet with our children.
