When Activism Goes Too Far

Many people ask me, “Veggie Chic, do you recycle?” Apparently, loving animals and health is connected to loving the environment. At least for some people. As for me, I’ve never been a big recycler. But wait, don’t judge. You see, I had a horrible experience with recycling at a very young age, and was forever turned off by the experience. Can you blame me? The following story is (of course and unfortunately) true.
 
There are always those relatives who gross you out, but your mom MAKES you be nice to them. Know who I mean? For me, it was my nasty Aunt Callie and her heifer daughter, Anabel.

I just want to point out they were relatives by marriage, NOT blood, thank you.

I went over to their house after church one afternoon, and found Anabel in the yard, draping wet toilet paper over several of the dining room chairs she’d taken outside.

“What are you doing?” I greeted her. “Making paper mache or something?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

She scratched her butt. “Drying out toilet paper.”

“Why?”

“So we can use it again.”

I stared at her in horror. “Again? You mean it’s used toilet paper?”

She looked bored. “Yeah.”

“That’s disgusting!”

She rolled her eyes. “Don’t be stupid. I’m not using the poop paper.”
