"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

What to do when you are in the bathroom, you have already gone potty - or haven't started yet - and your mother is calling for you to "Hurry."

Option #1:  Tear the wallpaper (of your rental home) off by the toilet paper roll.  (This is an especially good option if you have already unrolled the entire toilet paper roll and put it down the toilet.)


Option #2:  When you have run out of good loose ends by the toilet paper roll, move over to the next seam in the wallpaper.  Do not be concerned if your mother has already repeatedly told you that this is a bad idea and that the wallpaper "does not belong to you."


Option #3:  Get in some last paper peeling as you turn out the light.  If you are worried about threats of: "If you keep doing that, you will not be allowed to use the bathroom again - and you will have to wear a diaper like GQ," have no fear.... after all - she doesn't really want to change your poopy diapers anymore.


Option #4: Don't forget the other side of the toilet.  And no, she will not really make you go potty with the door open so she can watch you.... then GQ would come in and everything else would, ahem, go down the drain.


Option #5:  If you are upstairs - where there is no wallpaper - and you are tired of: singing, running water for at least ten minutes in the sink, looking at yourself in the mirror, putting on eyeshadow, and other such activities - then you can always give Batman a bath.


GQ won't mind!!!!  After all, he maybe has one other "boy" toy, and is perfectly happy playing with princesses and such.


Just make sure to smile like this afterward:

When it is time for you to leave, I will come REPLACE the wallpaper! It's been a LONG TIME, but I have had LOTS of experience with wallpaper...both removing and putting up!

Meanwhile, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MOM!!!!

Besides, HOW CAN YOU RESIST THAT IMP!?!?!?!

Love,
Grandma Paula
