When my oldest son was about 18 months, I heard this terrifying splashing noise coming from the bathroom. I ran in to find him happily soaking two hackey sacks in the toilet and sucking the liquid out of them.
Not one of my proudest parenting moments.
When my youngest daughter was about the same age, I caught her taking the caps that cover the big bolts at the bottom of the john and filling them with water from the toilet and drinking it.
Again, not one of my proudest parenting moments, but both stories have been told with the express purpose of embarrassing the children in question.
The other day, same daughter runs in and says, "Mommy, Mommy! I know why Oldest Brother and I don't get along!! We both drank out of the toilet when we were babies!!"
How's that for logic? It brings a whole new meaning to "something in the water."
So if your kids are suddenly at each other's throats, maybe you should check the water level in your toilets.
