I am being driven crazy by toilet paper. Seriously.
How you ask? How am I being forced to the edge of insanity by a tiny roll of cottony paper?
I will tell you. The children in my life, not mine, but the ones I am paid to care for, are unrolling it, using it up, trying to flush enormous amounts of it down the commode and spreading it around like teenagers trying to be funny.
Yesterday, they used TWO ROLLS IN ONE DAY!
Do they think this stuff grows on trees???
anyway,
We try to supervise them, but not everyone makes a public announcement when they are about to avail themselves of the facilities. We have talked about the 3 squares rule and how toilet paper should never touch the floor. We have squashed the roll, hung it over, hung it under. This is the general result:
I am on the hunt for products that will slow them down. You know, like the ones at some stores where you are impatiently pulling one stupid square at a time because the stupid roller won’t roll?
That’s the one I want.
Blair made the suggestion that we issue the tissue as a child is entering the throne room.
Child: I need to go potty. Can you spare a square?
Blair: I can spare 3 squares.

Don’t worry.
I can figure this out. I am smarter than these tiny toilet paper trashing toddlers. They cannot defeat me. I have a license. I have training. I am 43 years old.
I can and I will defend against the injudicious use of TP.
Here I go:)
