Are you sure that your mother doen't mean the water level in the tank,
not the toilet bowl itself?

Yup, I've had 49 years to learn how to translate 'Mom-speak' ;-)
commode=bowl in her lexicon
I'm looking a the stuck paper in the P-trap as a possible but normally she'd
use a plunger first thing which I imagine would clear that.

Grin, back from Mom 'You are a gem, now tell all them cute young men
thanks!' (Mom's 79 so all of you qualify ;-)
She's shut the water off to that one and taken the flapper off. It's in her
purse as the generic one from the HD didnt fit. There's this cute young
guy, mid-50's that she's gonna charm up to help her find the right one.
Local plumming supply place. Lordy mighty, knowing Mom, he's gonna be lucky
if he gets away just selling her a flapper! (hehe the ladies will catch on,
guys at that age tend to be a little slow on the uptake).
Thats my Mom! Go girl go!
