My daughter put her hand in the toilet, and then put it in her mouth.

1. UG!

Well, there is not a whole lot you can do about it now....
Hopefully it will just give her a mini-vaccination when she gets all kinds of antibodies generated from some malicious germs.
:shrug:

Also, tell her not to behave in a way that our Emporer would.

12. I'd have made her rinse with listerine

it would help kill germs.

[Der Blaue Engel]

14. Talk about a potty mouth

B-)

[s-cubed]

15. not likely

my dog drinks out of the toilet all the time, and he's never sick.

[Zuni]

18. Only if you count cholera or typhoid as 'illnesses'.

[TX-RAT]

19. Just imagine what she doe's when your not looking.

[lojasmo]

20. By the time a child is two,,,,,

Their intestinal tract is colonized with THE SAME coliform bacteria as is present in the primary caregiver's, so unless many others use your toilet, there should be no major ill effects.

[MissMillie]

21. Not if you rinse her mouth w/ bleach

That should take care of the germs.
