*LittleSquib bawling her eyes out in the bathroom*
LittleSquib: I’ve lost it and now I’ll never see it again!!
[I inspect the bath drain and can just see the little purple Barbie shoe]
Me: It’s OK, Mama will fix it. I’ll just get some tweezers and pull it out
*LittleSquib still crying and saying how purple is her favourite colour and how that was her favourite shoe*
Me: See I think I’ve got it, look here it is, it’s OK LittleSq-
*plop*
Me: Oh…. it’s gone, I’m sorry
*Copious bawling*
LittleSquib: Now I only have one shoe and my doll can’t wear one shoe. I loved that shoe so much and now the sharks are going to get it. I loved that shoe…
Me: I’m sorry, oh I’m so sorry, I did my best
LittleSquib: (heartbroken) I’ll never have that shoe again
5 hours later
LittleSquib: I miss that shoe

There must a trap somewhere to stop little purple boots from jamming up the W.A. sewage system.
Dismantle the entire plumbing system immediately. It’s the least you can do for your daughter.

Talk about a false headline! You didn’t come to the rescue at all. Poor LittleSquib. Poor purple shoe. Poor whale that ends up with it lodged in its blowhole.
