The Toilet Paper Blues

I sent Ryan's wife, Caroline, home with a package of toilet paper, and she said, "Oh! WE love this kind, where do you get it?!"  I said, "What's this 'we' business?  You mean you discuss how much you like particular brands of toilet paper?"  (Aren't they fun?) 
(I do love you guys--happy 5th anniversary in December!) 
( Aside:  Where will their conversations degrade to by their 25th??  :))

I showed my college age daughter, Lauren, this story and she said, "Hey, I get this; when you're a poor college student (or young marrieds) you DO talk about how crappy the scratchy one-ply is!"

I asked Caroline permission to print this blog, and here is her reply: 
"HAHAHA!!! Yes, you can post this! I very much remember this! Lol!  I was thinking of it tonight when John (4) sneezed through our one-ply!"

John Wayne toilet paper – Military term used to describe the low grade toilet paper found in the MRE accessory packet. Called so because it’s rough, tough and don’t take sh!t off of anybody. Can also be used in place of extra fine grit sandpaper when refinishing furniture. For a humorous history of toilets see my blog "Loo Loo, Skip to my Loo"  http://janasrandomwriting.blogspot.com/2011/05/loo-loo-skip-to-my-loo-skip-to-my-loo.html
