Family Ties

So last night I was watching TV when I couldn't sleep and Dr. Phil came on after something I actually wanted to watch and I didn't bother to change it, as I was on FB playing WOF. Anyway, inevitably some of the show filtered into my brain.

(BTW: I swear all talk shows end up more like Jerry Springer than anything else.)

There was this couple on that had already been married and divorced once, they had a daughter together and she had a son from a previous relationship. (God bless the modern family.) They had recently remarried, in front of their children, but without informing their families, who would be mad. It had been like less than a month and they wanted Dr. Phil to tell them if they should give up on try #2. More information than you ever really need to know about any Dr. Phil (unless you like his show), but needless to say these people had issues, were crazy and really just not....

BUT, the best part was one of the things the husband did. They, ofcourse, traded "You're Crazy" "No, You Are!" barbs and anecdotes back and forth and they were both WOW! The husband would leave little notes and make little rules all over the house and expect that they would be followed, naturally. One of them was that everyone should start folding their toilet paper rather than crumpling it to wipe.

I LOVE THAT! I have to say that I don't think I have every put that much thought into my own TP, let alone anyone elses. I mean to actually think about, dictate, or try to control what someone else does when wiping their own ass is just awe inspiring to me. I mean anyone with a kid under a certain age has to do their fair share of dealing with wiping someone elses butt, and I still have to say I only think about it when directly confronted with it. I cannot imagine thinking I was that in control of my own life, let alone anyone else's. Who has time to consider these things? (Well, other than me right now.)

My response to this would be... "Unless you're willing to do it yourself..."

Yeah that's "Super Classy!"
(And,obviously, so am I.)
