TP Shortage


Landon's nose had been running like crazy. Mommy needed Landon to go retrieve some toilet paper since I only had one box of Kleenex in the house. So, off Landon goes to fulfill his mission only to return to his astonished mother with the remains of what toilet paper was left on the roll. Everything has turned out okay since Morgan's nose is running steady now, so I just keep tearing chunks off to get use out of it. No way was I gonna roll it all back on! Have any of you ever tried that?
With correction, I do believe Landon has stopped this "pulling the whole roll off". He has done this three times this week (second and third time was when he didn't holler for me to wipe him and tried to do it himself)
So, let this be a warning to mothers: Use Kleenex. A whole lot easier to stuff back in the box than trying to re-roll the toilet paper.

How funny!! We had a toilet paper incident here yesterday! Brooklynn has recently started whiping herself after she "you-know-what"s. :-) Anyway, I went into the bathroom yesterday and thankfully she forgot to flush because she had used so much tp, the mound of tp was sticking above the water in the toilet!! I used a hanger to pull most of it out. Yuk!!!!

Yes,
I have rolled it back up before, and have had it sticking up over the water before. I think my boys have done everything in the book LOL
