Podcast: Play in new window | Download
My children have always believed in magic. When they were little they were big fans of the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. Now it’s the Toilet Paper Fairy, the Laundry Bunny and … well … Santa still makes the top three so long as he comes through with the goods.
If you’ve avoided a reproductive dip in the gene pool, you’ve probably never heard of the Toilet Paper Fairy. Late at night, when the house is quiet and dark, the Toilet Paper Fairy emerges from under the stairs and checks the thickness of each installed roll. Deficient rolls are replaced from the Strategic Toilet Paper Reserves which are stashed in an undisclosed location known only to the Toilet Paper Fairy and Vice President Cheney.
At least that’s what my children think.
