toilet paper anyone?

so, today I went to use the bathroom and realized I HAD NO TP...so needless to say:
" Zoe run to your bathroom and get me a roll of toilet paper"
"what"
"toilet paper, under your sink by your rags"
"where"
in your bathroom- run"

I wait and then I hear little feet heading my way, yes TP!
No roll of tp in my 3 year olds hand....mmmmm
"where is the roll"
as she opens her hand out coils a small and crinkled PIECE of TP, yes I said piece of tp.
OKAY, as I tried to contain my laughter, I explained again that I needed the roll of tp-
"where"
"in your bathroom (barely holding my giggles)"
"mom, I cant"
"yes you can, please, run"
gives me the eye and takes off once again to her bathroom-
and finally comes in with- you guessed it - A ROLL OF TP!!!
wow, my three year old is a great listener!!

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
