Cloth vs. Paper

Posted on 03 09, 2006 under The Manual by foodad | Comments

Kids are cute. Kids are also messy. There are barnyard animals with better table manners.

When your little dude dumps his oatmeal over his head, flings his squash at you, spills his grape juice, or uses his bowl of yogurt as a discus and you"re tasked with the cleanup, what do you do?

You probably head to the roller, grab a heap of the old quicker-picker-upper and kill off a small piece of a hearty oak or maple tree in the process.  Foodad? Are you a hippy tree hugger? No, Jimmy, but I do like stories about gladiators.  I am a little concerned about environmental conservation (Have you tried skiing in New England lately? Global warming is a hoax my #!$) and maybe saving a buck or two while I am at it.

Instead of paper towels, you can pick up a bunch of those el-cheapo, little wash cloths. Stash them in the kitchen and the bathroom. This way when barnyard animals or your little misfits attack, you will have them handy.  When you are done with the cleanup, you can just chuck them in the hamper. I won’t tell your wife it was still wet if you don’t.  If after a while they become too crusty, booger stained or stinky, you toss them out –like Denise Richards did to Charlie Sheen (twice).  John Stamos, if you’re reading this you might want to use a wash cloth or two to clean up the sloppy seconds.  The only drawback to this plan is that sometimes they get lost in the laundry and can make your boxers ride up on you in a really funky way.

So save the paper towels for things like science experiments, coffee filters or ad-hoc halter tops and give those mini cheapo wash clothes a try.
