The Toilet Paper Adventures

As everyone knows, Americans generally consume more of everything--food, space, gas. And toilet paper. Melinda and I had been going through the normal amount at our apartment. So we thought nothing of it when it ran out two days after Frau Greneville had last stocked the bathroom. But when Melinda told Frau Greneville we were out of toilet paper again, the austrian woman was shocked.
"Already out? But I just put more in yesterday!"
Feeling surprised, a little guilty, and frightened that we had ruffled our host, we went on our way. The day was busy and full of school and touring. Melinda and I didn't see much of each other that evening. After I was finished at school I stopped at the grocery store on my way home specifically to buy toilet paper. I hid it in my wardrobe at the apartment when I got home. Melinda came home a bit later and while unpacking her things, pulled out a pack of toilet paper. We had both bought toilet paper to use so Frau Greneville wouldn't get upset about the great use of toilet paper. So now we have a secret stash in our drawers, just in case.
