A Little Old Depression-era Lady She Will Never Be

During my career as a hospital nurse, I chuckled at the TINY WAD of toilet tissue my elderly depression-era patients would use. I realized they came from an era where nothing was wasted and could never convince them it was ok to use a bigger piece...we had an ample supply.

Our little Ana will never qualify as a 'don't-waste-any-toilet-paper-depression-era-lady'! I walked into the bathroom this morning and here was the scene...Papa was carefully using the plunger to unclog the toilet after Ana had used almost HALF A ROLL IN ONE SITTING. His only words were, " We've got to hide the toilet paper from Ana." So....the roll of toilet paper now sits waaay up high on top of a cabinet out of her reach, with the instructions to call Nana when she potties.
Problem solved...no big deal.

More posts to come tonight with pictures.

  1. EVERYTHING is in excess at Nana & Papa's...even toilet paper usage. :)
