Story of the Day 4/ 17/ 2013





This is actually an addendum to Story of the Day 3/ 15/ 2013- the story of toilet paper.

We were all eagerly awaiting an update from Ely.
What would happen when he stopped buying toilet paper for the house?
Since, all year, none of the other three residents had figured out that toilet paper had to be bought and put in the bathroom, but , instead, seemed to believe that the house elves magically replenished the supply, we could not quite guess what their response would be to that empty roller.

Ely, on Friday, April 12th, texted to tell me : " I kid you not, someone noticed we were low on toilet paper and bought a single roll of toilet paper. "

Both Ely and I were curious what the next thing to happen would be. Ely was not worried, after all, he had his own stash ( a roll hidden behind something in his room), and he was also headed out of town to visit friends, over the weekend.
What would be the state of things in the bathroom when he returned? Would someone have anted-up and purchased another single roll?

As things had it, while standing guard at the doorway to the staircase where his younger siblings were filming, I noticed the above installation.
I took two photos of it, and sent them to Ely, along with the message:

"Art installation. If your housemates were here, it would be disappearing one roll at a time."

Ely let me know that the single roll had run out.
But his roommates had replaced the single roll after it had run out.

With a box of tissues.

Hopefully, when this runs out, the napkins will be safe.
Since they are cloth.

Lets hope someone doesn't buy a roll of cheap paper towel! Ely should speak up and tell them to cough up some funds for house necessities!
