Funny Fridays!!!

September 7, 2012 By momcafe 4 Comments

So I was thinking, Fridays are for celebrating! So I am starting a Friday Funny post every Friday… I need your help in finding laughter in the weeks events that unfolded. Would you join me and in the comments add to my Funny Findings? I believe it would be… FUN!!!

HERE GOES!

You know when…

You know when you wake up in the middle of the night all groggy and have to pee?

So you stumble to the bathroom and let it out. Only to look for the toilet paper and find the empty spool with drizzles of tissue threads dangling in the dark.

You reach for a new roll of toilet paper, only to find it stuck in the bin and attempt to wrestle the thing out almost falling off the toilet.

You finally knock over the bin and while holding the bin on your lap, you succeed in tearing the roll out like a wild hungry ape.

You drop the wooden bin on the floor with a loud crash that leaves ringing in your ears…

In sweet triumph of winning this battle, you fumble around the toilet paper roll with your fingers trying to find the beginning of the tissue.

While doing so in your sleep deprived state, you manage to drop the roll and hear it roll across the room.

You then carefully stretch your arms along the floor in a circumference around the toilet praying it didn’t roll too far away, only to realize you need to start crawling with your pants down looking for it…all the while knowing full well that you are dripping a lovely pathway to and from the toilet… but you finally find it and hop back to the toilet seat to sit again and end this horrible nightmare.

In no light, you must feel your way through as you rotate the roll over and over again praying the little flap will be found.

After several attempts to find it, you realize its not going to happen.

So you now start to thread little shredded pieces of tissue over and over again until you just simply dig your finger nails into it and take a chunk out.

You attempt to wipe yourself with the shreds and chunk you tore in bamboon style all the while feeling more exhausted and exasperated about the entire scene.

After thirty minutes of pure potty hell, you stumble back in bed.

And wake up the next morning to find the aftermath of toilet paper shreddings everywhere and a bin knocked over and pee drops dried up all over your floor.

You know when that happens? I do.

    Funny Funny ! I felt like I was there with you, good story! But no, I always make sure my toilet paper rungs are always full so I’ve never experienced anything like that (hee hee). The threads of toilet paper hanging from the empty spool cracked me up!! Love you!!

    It hasn’t happened to me, because I’m crazy about making sure the toilet paper hanging has enough for a full use on it. I’m sure my daughter will ruin that for me someday though.

      Oh yes…I remember those beautiful days in the light when I actually cared about the toilet paper roll being ready!! Somewhere down that road, I slowly let. go. of. that. I now OFTEN find the empty roll with those few strands… but it’s actually a lottery winning day if you find a full roll SITTING on the empty roll. Because, it’s just too much work to take out the old roll and put the new one in. Yep.
