My Granddaughters come round for breakfast most mornings before school and they go upstairs and brush their teeth and see to their ablutions before leaving.
The other morning, while I was in my bedroom, I overheard a conversation through the bathroom door whilst Amber the oldest was brushing her teeth and Millie the youngest must have been on the toilet.
"Millie, you're using far too much paper. Don't forget the poor trees that have died for you so that you could wipe your bottom!"
In theory, that was quite a touching remark...... except that I haven't really noticed Amber being particularly into conservation and recycling.
Millie is probably into it more...... so you never know, she might try and cut down on the amount she uses.
Its easy to criticise other people's habits though, isn't it? Especially if it's from a sibling.

Who would we be without our siblings? Our biggest critics and our biggest fans.
your granddaughters are wonderful and so funny. Definitely it is one of the best thing to have siblings.
True words! Kids are so funny.
I had to laugh, the superiority of the older - and the knowledge flaunting.
cutest.

its good that she is thinking that way though, as it will play a difference in our future...
ha, but i bet a dig at a sibling was def in there as well...smiles.
So funny what they come out with ~ Eddie x
What a sweet comment! We use recycled loo paper over here.
Indeed, that's true. And very cute. I smile just picturing the scene.
Something that would have never even crossed our minds when we were children.
Oh the funny things kids come up with! Every time our grandkids leave, my husband and I laugh over comments they have made, too. They certainly brighten the day, don't they?
Hehehe! At least these day you can by loo rolls that are manufactured by concerned firms that plant more trees to keep things rolling. :-)
That's quite a long spam comment above me!
Your granddaughters are a hoot.
No siblings for me, unfortunately. But I certainly hope your granddaughters, and all young people, recognise the importance of conservation and recycling.
Loved the toilet paper comment.
Ah, but the more we wipe ourselves, the more trees the paper people will plant!
So funny! I love to overhear their conversations!
