So I’m upstairs cleaning today and my cell phone rings. It is my youngest son who is calling from his ipod.
“Mom?”
“Yeah?”
“Can you bring me some toilet paper?”
“WHERE are you??!!”
“In your bathroom….”
So I had to sit and laugh because not only was I getting a phone call from someone INSIDE my home, but I couldn’t help but think of what happened in the BC days– you know, Before Cellphones.
Let me guess, you can see it in your mind’s eye now. You’re sitting in the bathroom yelling at the top of your lungs for SOMEONE to hear you and rescue you. You could sit there for a LONG time until you heard some noise in the vicinity. If that didn’t work, you were looking around for options…..did someone throw a tissue or anything SOFT in the garbage can that could be of use here.
Yes, those were the days. The days before cellphones and ipods. The days of genius and creativity. The days when your mom came to your rescue with a roll of toilet paper.
Yep….I was that hero today! I should have worn a cape!
