Playing with toilet paper

I've noticed a plethora of toilet paper commercials on TV lately. Maybe that's because I'm watching too much kids TV, but it got me wondering about the toilet paper. The commercials make it sound like we had a problem with it because the old toilet paper surely isn't cleaning our rears good enough, but my problem seems to be establishing that it is a functional item ONLY. Not for amusement or play. I've actually thought that I should be buying CHEAPER toilet paper, because so much of it seems to end up strewn through the house, following some naked bottomed child like a parade of potty time fun. Latest example? The door-to-door salesman.

We live in a gated community. That seems to mean that we get more determined salesmen when they make it though. One enthusiastically went through the pitch about kid-proofing my windows and solving all my cleaning problems (yawn) while my kids ran un-supervised through the house.

The proud moment came when the naked bottom of Zoe came streaking though, pulling toilet paper from the roll through the foyer and into the kitchen like she was performing for the circus. Perhaps the toilet paper people could address that problem?

As punishment (ha!) for wasting paper the next time, Zoe got to wear it. She looks thrilled, doesn't she?!
