Good thing I was already sitting down, because a horrible thing happened. I had run outta tp!
This is shocking!!! A tragedy of Herculean proportions for a Hawkins! (my maiden name)
It hasn’t happened in years, and YEARS!! (I have a serious phobia of running out, due to being really poor during childhood, and all the hideous experiences with running out of tp. Nope, can’t even talk about it. You don’t know what I suffered as a child!
Well, if you must know, it started out with the kleenex, which was fine. Then it was the paper napkins, NOT fine!! Then the paper towels, worse than NOT fine!! And more worser- you can’t flush them!!! Then Sears catalogs, then finally corn cobs!
True story! It happened in Grma’s out house!! She was renovating the real bathroom at the time. And it wasn’t long, but it felt like an ETERNITY!! That’s when I almost didn’t go for a week! (haha Scared of spiders, snakes, and that ain’t what it takes to love me…)
I have PTTPLSD because of it all. Post-Traumatic-Toilet-Paper-Lessness-Stress Disorder. They had to create a new category in the DSM-V just for me.
So, there I was. Stumped, had to think hard! Ended up, having to use kleenex. sigh Coulda been worse!! What if I’d only had paper towels?????? ARGH! {runs screaming into the night at even the THOUGHT of it!}
Now I’m set!
you can NEVER have too much tp…you learn plant identification if you’re ever in the woods…w/o tp…socks are useful too…then there’s the bear joke…BEAR: rabbit, do you mind poo in your fur; RABBIT: no…bear picks up rabbit and wipes his rear…
