Okay, slightly gross but funny story from yesterday...
We were at my parents house for Stefani's 18th birthday. My mom had purchased American Idol for the wii and we were all taking turns trying to impress the virtual Simon Cowell, when Justin disappeared. We were supposed to sing together so I noticed he was gone for quite a long time. He reappeared for a minute just long enough to motion to my parents about something. Afterwards he explained to me what had been going on:

(In his words, retold by Jodi): I realized I needed to go, so I ran to the bathroom quickly before it was our turn to sing. I saw that the seat was wet, and it really grossed me out so I cleaned it off first. After I went I flushed the toilet (Jodi inserts: he's odd and flushes before he gets up) and noticed that I was being touched by something wet. I looked down and saw the toilet water was up to the rim. I was sitting in it. Gross! I knew that I hadn't caused the toilet to clog, so needless to say I was entirely disgusted. I panicked and hopped up and began the search for a plunger before it overflowed. I searched the entire linen closet with no success. What do I do? I thought. I noticed by this time that the water was going down ever so slowly and decided to wait for it to do so. It was like watching paint dry for several minutes. I flushed it again to see if it had perhaps unclogged itself. Bad idea. The water surged back up and was threatening to spill over. "Crap" I thought. I left the bathroom to pursue a plunger. Kali was sitting outside the door and looked up with a smile as I left the room I had occupied for about 15 minutes now. I pointed toward the bathroom and then made a "don't go in there" motion as I raced up the stairs. Ah-ha! I found one up there. I rushed back towards the terrible occurrence and proceeded to fix it. I plunged and plunged with all my might, but to no avail. It was at this point that I knew this situation was bigger than me. I defeatedly went back to the front room to get help. I saw Jodi's dad sitting there and causually walked over to inform him of my plight. "um...I have a situation," I whispered. He waited. "that toilet in there...it's pretty plugged." He understood. He got up and was about to come to my aid when Jodi's mom piped up from across the room where the auditions where still going on. "What?" she asked, "You clogged the toilet?"I was slightly mortified. This was not something I wanted the entire party to hear about. She got up and the three of us went back to survey the situation. I explained that I had tried to plunge it, but to no avail. Jodi's mom took one look at the plunger I had found and said, "oh-no, that one's awful." She reached over and pulled a better plunger from under the sink (the one place I had not looked) and plunged two mighty plunges. The toilet whooshed and it was all over. The worst part of the whole thing was that I had been so grossed out by the inital wet seat.

Hahaha, I almost cried from laughing so hard when he explained what had gone on during the time he disappeared. He was so embarrased. "Both your parents had to come help me plunge a toilet." :D. Wow, funny story.
