Beware Of Flood


I will admit it has been a long time since I was a kid. I will even admit it has been a long time since I was around children a whole lot. But I seem to forget the part where LITTLE kids use SO MUCH TOILET PAPER. I get my poor crippled self to the bathroom today, remember this is a good 5-7 minute walk for me, and what do I find waiting for me in the toilet? Lots and Lots of toilet paper, now I know it wasn't me and the other kids that share that bathroom with me are only like 7-13. Not one of these kids should have a bathroom emergency that would require them to use so much toilet paper. It was obvious too that whoever did this knew it would clog the toilet, cause they did not even attempt to flush. I am guessing these kids get in trouble for that sort of thing, instead of clogging the toilet they just leave a little present for whoever the lucky one to come in next is.

This all would not be a huge deal except that I had just spent those few minutes working my way to the bathroom, which I really had to use, I now had to turn around and work my way to the other bathroom. For a normal walking individual again this not a big deal, but for this cripple this means another 5-7 minute walk. I could already be feeling relief, but instead I am dragging myself to the master bathroom. Luckily I found it in good working order and promptly took care of business.

I guess my question is really, is this normal behavior for kids? Do they always use so much toilet paper? If they are going to use enough to clog the toilet do they ever tell anyone and fess up to it? Please help me out, I need to know what to expect in the future.

Why do people go to bed and leave the TV, lights, and other appliances on when they know I will have to get up and turn them off. I have no need for these things, and if I wanted them on I could turn them on myself. Oh well I guess I will live.
