No, we are not complete heathens, but anyone who has had a toddler knows that they are fascinated by seeing the paper come off the roll. Addison has mastered this so that she can completely unroll a new roll in 20 seconds flat.
A few days ago, I thought I would snag a shower after Ella got up at 6:30, but before Addison awoke (usually at 7:30), so while Ella watched Noggin, er, I mean, memorized and recited the Gettysburg Address, I moved the baby monitor in the bathroom and prepared for a shower. Well, low and behold, I get the water temperature perfect, get undressed and get my hair wet, and Addison starts screaming. Ella, of course, runs into the bathroom to tell me and I send her into Addi's room to entertain her while I dry off, redress myself and give up my dream of showering before 11:00 am. I figure all is going well when I immediately hear giggling coming from the baby monitor. When I get to the nursery this is what I see...
...which is sweet. She had climbed into the crib to hug and kiss her sister good morning. A first. Awwwww! But upon closer inspection of the situation..."Ella...what's on your arms?"
"Mommy, I'm a tiger! ROARRRR!!!"
"And see my hands? Are they be-a-u-ti-tul?" (that's not a misspell, that's how she says it.) See below how Addison is in awe? She thinks to herself "there's so much more that I can do beyond the realm of toilet paper!"
I swear on my Moose Tracks Chocolate ice cream this child was left alone for under 3 minutes. She wanted to be a tattooed tiger, so she made it happen...quickly. What am I gonna do with these girls?

That's so funny! We often have a pile of toilet paper like that. There's no way I'm throwing that stuff away-it's like gold!
I like the "roar" picture, too!
