I just do not understand what it is with me and toilet paper tragedies. How many embarrassing debacles must I endure before the humiliation is complete? I am doomed, DOOMED, to the toilet paper hall of shame. Where did all this begin???....I think it all started at my mom & stepdad's wedding, when I used about a mile and a half of toilet paper after using the potty at the wedding reception and promptly flooded the ENTIRE restroom, then fled in a panic, launched my 8-year old body into the crowd of happy wedding-goers & loudly announced what I had done.
Fast forward a few years to high school, when the hall pass for my science class was a toilet seat. Yes, an ACTUAL seat that was SAT UPON by a plethora of BUTTS large and small...albeit, sufficiently sterilized (one would hope) - especially since I hung it around my neck to make it less awkward to carry.
Fast forward another few years - after using the restroom at a co-worker's house for her daughter's baby shower, I wrapped my *ahem* sanitary product into a few squares of toilet paper and stuffed it into the garbage can. Not 15 minutes later, my coworker's old grey dog limped into the living room where we are all gathered, watching the happy mom-to-be unwrap gifts, and there was something in the dog's mouth that was trailing out and behind her. As I watched in horror, she PLOPPED the thing at the feet of the preggers woman like some sort of prize. You guessed it. I'll spare the details.
Fast forward to the present - Chris and I, visiting his aunt, uncle & 4 cousins in Damascus last night for dinner. I went to wash up before dinner, and YEP - USED THE REST OF THE ROLL. Not wanting a repeat of last weekend's incident, I bravely marched out of the bathroom & directly up to the dinner table where all were seated and made my proclamation. Maybe this will break the toilet paper curse....I won't stop hoping - at least, until next time.

Haha! I've had nearly the same "sanitary product" disaster happen to me. Really. I was visiting my great aunt and uncle in California and their dog dug about two days worth of my "used products" out of the trash can and had it ALL OVER the living room when we came home from a day of site seeing. So embarrassing!
