I was at a friends house over the holidays and went to use the bathroom and to my surprise she had holiday decorated toilet paper. This amused me so I took a pic of it and posted the pic on social media just to get a laugh. Turns out she has toilet paper for almost every holiday. Well jokingly, so I thought, her husband tells me the toilet paper was only for decoration purposes and I wasn't suppose to use it. What?! Just for decoration? I'm sure he meant only guests can use it, but men get confused about this rule.
Most of us woman have a "Just for decoration" policy on some of the things we buy. For example when my kids were younger I had towels that hung in the bathroom that were the "pretty towels" with a silk lace heart on them that matched the bathroom wallpaper, and if you used them,well, they would look used when guest came over. I know, OCD at it's finest, but you never know when Better Homes and Garden might pay us a visit for a photo shoot. I also had a no, no, room which was really my living room, and was off limits to everyone but me when I needed to get away from the mess in the family room. My mother did the same thing when we were younger only she had plastic covers made for her white sofa in her all white living room. Yeah, that felt really good when you were wearing shorts.
Are woman the only ones that do this? I'm guessing a much higher percentage than men. Now that I'm older, and I'm much more wiser, and maybe cured of my OCD. Well, maybe a little. I use everything I buy. Things are meant to be used, especially the pretty, luxurious things. What are you waiting for? Use those antique dishes you only pull out for special occasions.Use those pretty towels you have been saving for when the in-laws come for a visit. Use those decorative candles for a long soak in the tub, and for pete sake if you're gonna buy a white sofa use a cloth cover so you can take it off to wash it when it gets dirty because, dammit, you're worth it!
