Meet Polly, the paper towel. Many people know her as just “the paper towel”. She cleans up not just certain messes but all messes.
She has cleaned up messes from toilet water to tomato sauce.
Some people use her to blow their nose.
Some people use her like toilet paper. When they use her this way, she purposely clogs their toilet. How dare they.
Polly is anxious now because people want her now more than ever. She’s in high demand.
Polly usually comes in packs of two. She sits on the kitchen counter and watches people unroll her with their dirty fingers.
Some children go out of hand and unroll 4 feet worth of paper towel just to clean up a small puddle of water.
The worst part about being a paper towel is after you clean up the mess, you go straight to the trash. No respect. No “thank you for cleaning up the mess”. No apologies. No anything.
Just unroll, wipe, and trash.
