Kandon't

Take a gander at what I get to look at every time I visit my bathroom these days:

Now, I ask you: what part of "toilet wipes" is so hard to understand that Proctor and Gamble feels the need to include a cartoon drawing of a frog doing this:

What ever happen to dancing around what really goes on in the bathroom, like calling it "bathroom tissue" when everyone everywhere calls it toilet paper? Kids spend the first three years of their lives getting their butts wiped, they know what to do with wipes. And is it me or is the frog just a little too happy about that wipe? Why isn't the American Family Association calling for a boycott of this (unless they're already boycotting P&G for that whole satanic thing)?

Call me a prude, but I predict that when the scholars of the future search for the cause of the fall of Western Civilization, they will find that it all started with a picture of a cartoon frog proudly wiping his hindquarters.

I have only one thing to say to you: SEWER BACKUP. Or make that plural: SEWER BACKUPS. The Roto-Rooter guy pulled out mountains of "moist wipes" (mostly Cottonelle brand, but some Kandoo and others) that had gotten trapped on some tree roots that had wormed their way into the seams of our pipes (one of the lovely things about living in an old house on an old street). Be afraid, be very afraid.

All too familiar with those myself... So much so that when my 18 month just climbed up on the sofa while I was reading your post, she gleefully pointed and yelled, "PEE-PEE!"

Ahh. How conversation has changed.

Well, I can only speak for myself; but on my visits to your house, that frog illustration has proved immensly helpful.....

We all need a little visual cue now and then. I love your observation BTW. In other potty news, my buddy Abbey is getting the hang of it...http://teammullen.typepad.com/wide_eyed_wonder/2006/01/miracle_of_mira.html
