Okay. So I was watching Nick Jr. this morning (I have a 4 yo - don't judge me! ;P ) and saw a Charmin commercial - the one where the mama bear checks the baby bear and finds that the baby bear has left over pieces of TP on his bum. And I thought to myself, is this really an issue? Am I missing some vital mommy-instinct that should tell me to check for toilet paper residue? Or does Charmin realize that not all mommies possess this instinct and therefore feels compelled to provide a toilet paper PSA on our behalf?
I will ponder my lack of toilet paper knowledge and get back with you. ;P

LMAO!!! It must be a big problem if they feel compelled to solve it for us. I guess our kids are NOT the only ones running around with TP stuck on the bums. I can't say I have EVER checked my kids for that. AND I'm not going to start either! I think my 13 yr old would have me committed if I did.
Will you check me too? :P thanks for the giggle!
Happy SITS Wednesday! Yeah, that is too funny about the TP commerical. When I saw it, I was thinking the same thing, really, you want me to check down there for TP extra's?!?! I. don't. think. so. LOL!!

I must be lacking that mommy instinct too!
I will add that to the list of things I need to do today...NOT Thanks for the laugh!
I do not check my kids' butts for toilet paper residue. Poop residue, at times, yes - my 4 year old has a habit of, er, under-wiping. :)
I wish I had the chance to miss TP residue. My 5 year old screams "Can you come wipe my bum" loud enough for the neighborhood to know she just used the bathroom.
Then I'm pretty sure I'm missing it too! Oh, and the domestic gene, too. Haven't developed that one even after 4 yrs of marriage and 2 kids!

What always gets me about those commercials is that they try to get you to limit the amount of TP they use. I don't really care if they use the whole roll as long as they end up clean in the end (pun intended!).
I used to have a customer who had a large family (I think 6 or 8 kids) and she used to ration the TP between the kids. Seriously, each kid would like get their own roll and have to make it last all week. I'm all for saving a few pennies her and there, but I just thought that was enormously creepy.
I love that Charmin commercial... those bears are just so cute!
And no, I don't check for TP, but then again, my daughter isn't potty trained yet! However, she is fascinated with the TP... hmm....

LOL, silly! Wipe till it's clean! But I have never thought to check.
Oh, and I always watch Nick Jr, no judgement there :)
Or instead of checking yourself, just tell your 5 year old to stick his finger back "there" and check. :S Or not. And I would never suggest that...*cough* um.
I'm still the butt wiper in my house...blech!
Wow...I never really thought of it like this. Though, I would think that since a bear's bum is hairy (well, it is) then maybe getting TP stuck is more of an issue...
Stopping by to say hi - from your newest follower!!

Thank you for making me LMBO!
