Forgive me for I am about to sin. Big Time. 
Zach, did your Mommy just get this for you, dear boy?

Um... isn't that a little yucky -- saying to the kid that they should only use four squares of toilet paper?
"Hey kid, be as wasteful as you want. Just don't let anything wet touch anything other than the paper, ok? Wad it up, and use it freely. And remember to wash your hands afterwards, ok?"
I don't know. I'm all for being cheap but FOUR SQUARES? My lord! There are some places you don't skimp on. Toilet paper is one of those areas, without a doubt.
Margaret, who doesn't believe in a set "correct" amount of TP.
Edited to add the picture.

Now that's just scary. That was exactly the limit given to me waaaayyyyy back in the day when my parents were training me. Back when I had a small butt, I guess 
mj
who doesn't want to hear any wisecracks from Margaret regarding the existence of toilet paper back when I was potty trained

MJ, I don't think of you as old. You're less than ten years older than I am, aren't you?
My great-great aunt didn't have TP. They used the Sears catelogue. Honest. |

yeah, but I didn't want you to go for the obvious needling. I left you an opening big enough to drive a tank through 
And I heard my great gram did the same thing re: Sears. Good thing they hadn't learned to laminate paper yet.

Thinking of using the Sears catelogue puts the TP issue into perspective. I'd rather use Scott even, than use the Sears catelogue. And I'd have to be eating out of garbage cans before I'd be cheap enough to use Scott!
When I was at the hospital we had a board where we could write any problems that needed fixing, such as "leak in ceiling over desk" or "water comes out two temperatures -- cold and colder". My boss once put in "Higher quality toilet paper is needed, immediately".
That one had me laughing my heinie off. Probably because when they switched to a Scott-like paper, all of us were thinking along the same lines as my boss. |

I'll just bet though, MJ, that butts were more colorful back then 
The spectrum of colors today (I said spectrum!) is quite boring lol

Nah, just wanted to jerk your chain a bit. Your comebacks are usually much better. Slipping a bit, Zach?

Just make sure that the "wad" of TP is substantial, anyway.
Please use more than four sheets. If you don't... I don't want to know about it. |
