Grandma was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she had done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good‑bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good‑bye.
