Baby soft children (quadruple roll lasts even longer!)

I was at Target yesterday, perusing the toilet paper selection.  Regular, sandpaper, super ultra deluxe mega quilted 36 pack that was bigger than my car- the decision was not an easy one.  Pressed for time, I grabbed the $1.19 Angel Soft.  (If I’m going to spend twelve dollars on toilet paper, well, that can’t be rushed.)  Yet it had no aloe, no triple ply, no basketweave texture- could it really be right for us?
