My husband and I were having lunch at Olive Garden a few weeks ago and after we were seated I did my usual after we’ve been out and about touching germ-y things. I went to the bathroom to scrub my hands. While I was standing there a woman about my age came in with a little blond girl (a little doll) who looked like she was about 3 years old. The little girl informed her that she could go all.by.herself. This was the conversation.

Little Girl: Mama, I can go all by myself.
Mama: OK, but if you need me I’ll be right outside the door.
Little Girl: (She’s in there for a few minutes taking care of her business) Mama, how much toilet paper?
Mama: From your elbow to the ends of your fingers.

Huh. Well, now. Why didn’t I hear this conversation about 15 years ago? Who thought up this life changing ability to inform your small people how to not use 3/4 of the toilet paper roll while going all.by.myself.

Now you know. I hope that this will be life changing for you too.
