At one point in your life, you must have run out of toilet paper at a critical time. You must have also run out of paper towels at the same critical time.
As a result, you can not pass up a chance during any trip to the grocery store to buy the industrial size package of either paper towel or toilet paper. Because of this strange hobby of yours, we have enough paper products at any given time in this house to soak up Lake Michigan.
However, it would never occur to you to buy a package of paper napkins.
In my defense she's stretching the paper towel thing. We do run out of that fairly often. However, one thing I do list among the few things I've learned in 34 years is that it totally sucks when you run out of T.P.! You can NEVER have enough in the house!

...oh, and diapers. I don't mention this because we've EVER run out (I would never allow that to happen). But I do mention it in passing as it made me think of the time the baby ran "free and easy" between diapers for the wrong few minutes of the day. Word to the wise: You truly haven't lived until you've had to catch baby poo in your hand to keep it from the carpet (during a phone call). The problem is she likes to be "free and easy" and she's getting quicker and more agile everyday!

Hehe. I have a son who likes to go commando, lucky he's 9 now, so that's not an issue. Oh, he does wear shorts though, thank goodness.
