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!

well, I read this a few days ago and I read mandy's to get full coverage of the whole thing and heres what strikes me.
you don't like having the toilet paper on the back of the seat cuz its harder to get to. I got home today to an amazingly clean house and pictures and notes everywhere. Well, I went to the bathroom and couldnt find the toilet paper. even though on the side theres that toilet paper holder thing. yes thats right it was on the top of the toilet behind me. you were the last person to use our bathroom? just thought I'de mention it. I laughed and missed you.
Oh you think you're pretty observant, don't you...
