I am so glad you explained what kind of toilet. When I first read your post, I thought: I bet it is a Toto toilet w/ all the bells & whistles. I used one at a friends house onetime & decided I had to have one. Then I found out the cost & decided I could live without it. haha! But it is something that one would notice missing if they were buying a house!
btw...your mother...hilarious!
