Toilet Paper Safe

Several weeks ago, we signed the lease for our new abode and we were sitting around the dinner table discussing the home with it's many features.

Since the home has 2 and 1/2 baths, one in the master suite, one for the remaining bedrooms upstairs and a 1/2 bath or "powder room" downstairs, it was decided to lock the upstairs bath for use by the rest of the kids and leave the one downstairs open for Middle to use at all times, including the middle of the night.  What most people don't expect is the next conversation, that has been shamelessly borrowed from my husbands blog @Thoughts from the Asylum.

"The downstairs powder room will be left with a regular doorknob so that there is a bathroom that Middle can use whenever he needs it.
The question was raised, where are we going to keep the toilet paper in the downstairs bathroom?  Someone said we should get a safe.  I had to admit, that would keep the toilet paper secure.  Then someone said that the burglar who cracks that safe open is going to be very disappointed."


Which of course had us all in stitches.  Can you imagine the looks on the burglars face(s)?

Anyway, what we settled on was a locking two drawer filing cabinet.  Still makes it a target for thieves, but will be less likely to keep me from having to hand the phone over to someone else to finish explaining the theft to the police.

Truthfully.  Not sure how one would explain, how a safe theft would be quite that funny and hysterical because I'm chuckling just writing this, but then again, they don't live our crazy life.

That's the crazy for today.  Have a great one.
