    Are you old enough to remember those Barbie dolls that old ladies used to crochet a dress for so you could stand Barbie up in a roll of toilet paper and the dress would get pulled down over it? And the toilet paper was light pink?

      Yes indeed! My grandmother had one, but I don’t think it was Barbie specifically but a knockoff with dark hair. The doll had a blue dress and so she bought the blue toilet paper. I had completely forgotten about it!

        My grandma had a padded pink vinyl toilet seat that matched the Barbie and the toilet paper. When you sat on it it slowly squished all the air out. It was an awful feeling.

          I remember those too! Oh god I hated those.

          Mine had a carpeted bathroom, which is such an obviously bad idea for a room with a bathtub in it, I still can’t imagine what they were thinking.
