Yupp, toilet paper rolls. They're kinda always there but never really spoken about. Well tonight at dinner, we talked about toilet paper rolls. Another reason why my family is so awesom.
In our house, once a toilet paper roll is totally gone, the person who emptied it generally just puts it up on the bathroom shelf, and magically it disappears. I never really thought about it...that's just always how it happened. So I never knew where they were supposed to go or anything, the toilet paper roll fairy just took care of it.
In the past couple of weeks though...literally, weeks, the empty toilet paper roll pile has become a STASH. The stash has accumulated on a ledge in our bathroom. At first it was just a few and I didn't really think much of it...then it got to be a whole huge line of them. And it was one of those things where you'd notice it, think, "Huh...", but then just leave them there.
Well...the line grew...and grew...and GREW. One day I walked into the bathroom, and they were all stacked up, like a pyramid. It sorta made me laugh. I wondered who had done it, but I never really asked...it was an unspoken question. And then one day they were stacked on top of each other in tall leaning towers, and each day there was like a different pattern.
FINALLY, after like a WEEK of having 11 or 12 all lined up and in patterns, we talked about it. Tonight. At the dinner table. Mom mentioned something like, "So I started an experiment awhile ago...I've always been the one to take care of the empty toilet paper rolls, and I wanted to see how bad it would get before someone else took care of them...now it's at the point where I thought I should just say something." So we launched into this huge conversation about the toilet paper rolls and how Josh was making all the patterns and doing the stacking and we all noticed but didn't do anything.
Rather hilarious. ;D
