Hmmm...Mandy mentioned something in her last blog that inspired me to post. Why two rolls of toilet paper? I thought the same thing myself a few moments before I read her comment, but the difference is that I know the answer. Kids. Inga and Elena have to have the toilet paper on the floor in order to use it, and adults feel a need to put their paper on the top of the toilet seat in order to have it conveniently available (after you twist around, groping desperately behind you because you can't quite see back there) for adult use. And some people just put it on whatever nice modern toilet paper holding appliance has been placed on the wall for your use (which, as you can imagine, doesn't exist in Dad's still-being-built house). Combine these three customs with a house full of people who don't normally live together and you have multiple rolls of toilet paper making their appearance at the same time, in different places, until someone neatly puts them all in a row, causing Mandy to blog about it. OK, I just wanted to sound smart and provide a complete answer for someone today.
Oh, and if someone is visiting my site for the first time because you Googled the word "toilet paper", I'd love to hear the history in the comments section!
