My son set up a shoebox under our bathroom sink to collect TP tubes for the entire summer leading up to his 5-year birthday in October because he wanted to make binoculars for party favors. They were a big hit. Yup. I know what you mean about kids and TP tubes. Thanks to my husband’s joker of a grandfather, they are known in his family as “der-ders.”

Schools have banned reusing toilet paper tubes. They say they have germs on them. It’s just something else for me to roll my eyes about. Some of the schools I’ve been in don’t even have soap in the bathrooms! Ok, done with my ramblings.

Today I heard him in the bathroom murmuring, “recycle, recycle, recycle.” Sure enough he had another tube. I don’t know whether to be happy or get some professional help. He’s so odd about the toilet tubes.

Oh goodness! No, I wouldn’t know what to say to that either.

That is very funny & I can totally picture a kid doing that. I agree with Peggy though, I thought the same thing, lol.

Gross Peggy. Actually I was mad. I thought I’d walk in and see pools of blood or something. It was a total chaos scream he let out – weird kid. I suppose I should be happy but…

That’s cute. I thought it was going to end with you being out of TP and having to “recycle” something. : )
