I wish I had video
I've been looking at getting one of the motion sensing "toilet bowl night lights" like this one to put in my parent's bathroom. My father's night vision isn't great, and I'm worried about him falling (again), so I thought it might be helpful, but wasn't sure if he'd use it. Happened to see one in the store yesterday, picked it up, and set it up in my bathroom to see how well it worked, if the sensor box got in the way, etc.
Fast forward to today, where I'm trying to install a new toilet in my parent's bathroom, which is one of the taller, hopefully safer ones. I'm on the floor trying to remove the nuts and bolts holding the old one together and I hear my mother making a noise at the other end of the house. I couldn't tell if something was wrong, and since my father was standing in the room with me (supervising ::sigh::), I told him to go check. He stuck his head out where he could see her down the hallway to ask what was up, and I could hear her answering that she was laughing at Houdini. He'd gotten in the house and walked past my open bathroom door and the toilet light turned on. He took off like his tail was on fire.
A little bit later, I was about to haul part of the old toilet out of the house, and see Houdini outside my bathroom door, jumping up and twisting in the air, then launching himself into the room. He was attacking my toilet light, and apparently it fought the good fight, because he ran out again at warp speed.
