I would have punished Bucky right after he wrecked the boat. (In fact, I would have threatened him with punishment to keep him from wrecking it.) This does seem a bit indirect. How was Bucky (or anybody) to know that Satchel would try to flush a ship model down the toilet?
when you are committing a crime, and something else happens as a result of that crime (property damage, someone being hurt or killed, etc) then you are liable for that result as well as your original crime. In this instance, the toilet would not have flooded if Bucky hadn’t broke the boat, so the flood is his fault.

Bucky, you have some responsibility for causing this crisis. But not necessarily for Satchel’s choices in response.

Is that a sponge Rob is attempting to use to soak up all that water? JEEZ! That gives him a hobby…

Bucky isn’t responsible for Satchel’s stupidity. I’m surprised Satchel didn’t try eating his boat.

“Toy Boat” is one of the most difficult tongue-twisters. Go ahead. Try and say it fast three times.

I think I see the Tidy-Bowl man on the poop deck.

put the cat in instead of the boat more fun to see it spin around

I’d unclog the toilet first.
