Toilet Calendar

For the New Year,
let's try something new!
With that in mind,
in our house,
we decided to hang a new calendar in the toilet.

A daily tear-off
proverb calendar.

January 1st
starts with "The best day to start is the day you decide to."
It begins.

Yes, yes! That's right! That's exactly right!
I thought,
and as soon as I decided to,
I hung it up in the toilet.

I had never
hung a calendar in the toilet before, but since it's a place
the whole family
uses every day
and is sure to look at,
I think it might actually be quite good.

It's become a topic of family conversation,
like
"I didn't know today's proverb."

If everyone is looking at it this closely,
I'm even plotting to use it as a family message board,
writing things like
"Please buy some trash bags"
and sticking it up,
thinking maybe someone will do it.

No, no,
it's not a message board,
it's a proverb calendar.

Since
various proverbs appear on the daily tear-off pages,
my science-minded family members,
who are a bit lacking in language skills,
will hopefully
increase their vocabulary by looking at this.
Little by little, it adds up!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!

A few days after installing the calendar,

my husband
asked me,
"Can that paper be flushed?"

That paper... he must mean
the tear-off calendar page.

I was speechless,
but my husband, the head of the science-minded people in our house,
not only didn't know the words,
he didn't know how to handle a calendar.

However,
the attitude of "if you have a question, ask your wife first"
was
well ingrained in him,
so it seems he hadn't flushed it yet.
That was a close call.

A daily tear-off calendar
is just a daily tear-off calendar,
not one for the toilet.

Even if there were a calendar for the toilet,
I wonder if a calendar printed on flushable paper
even exists in this world.

Wait,
if such a thing doesn't exist in this world yet,
this
might be
a long-awaited
idea for a big hit new product.After all, necessity is the mother of invention.

For now,
the words most needed right now...
"Please do not flush this paper"
is something
I should probably post in the toilet.
