Franklin the Fish’s Message for Moms

*Thanks to Quilted Northern® for sponsoring this light-hearted post!

There’s someone I want you to meet. His name is Franklin and he lives in our family’s bathroom. I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in a bathroom, can you? But today, he has a special message to share with moms today. Franklin, the platform is yours.

franklins's message for moms

Hi Moms,

As Alison mentioned I’m Franklin the fish and I live in the…er…bathroom. Yep. The cold, quiet, unentertaining bathroom.

You’ll find me next to the faucet in Alison’s family’s bathroom.

In my pitiful, brief life, I have one purpose: to deliver soap on command — and I am faithful to do just that every single time someone tries to wash up.

I never whine, complain or make a sour face — I just deliver the soap. But no one says “Thank you, Franklin.” They just go on and forget about the happy, clean experience I gave them.

Much like your favorite toilet paper, Quilted Northern® Many moms forget about their experience when they use Quilted Northern® . Why? Because it gets the job done every time. But, bring in a rough, almost transparent roll of toilet paper that doesn’t have the beautiful stitching of Quilted Northern® , then it’s another story.

I can almost replay those unforgettable situations minute by minute.

A frustrated sigh and then a “Mom, can you bring me some toilet paper?” erupts from a kid in the bathroom. And it always happens when you’re right in the middle of a project. Cooking dinner, vacuuming or chatting with your best friend — that’s the only time the kids need extra toilet paper, right? But, had you kept your bathroom stocked with Quilted Northern® you could have had that interrupted chat with a friend —- just maybe!

Trust me. I see all that happens in the bathroom and Quilted Northern® is your best friend when it comes to forgettable experiences.

But me? I don’t get to forget anything. I just sit here and think, think, think.

message for moms from Franklin the fish

I never know who will burst through the bathroom door and start demanding soap to be dispensed onto their grimy hands. Sometimes people clean me up after smearing me with dirt or other undistinguishable goo — sometimes they don’t. To keep my sanity, I just hope there’s enough soap mixed in that it sort of gives me a squeaky clean appearance until the bathroom gets cleaned.

Those waiting times seem like an eternity, but when it finally comes, I enjoy watching you get the bathroom all squeaky clean and smelling good. I also anticipate you filling the stock of toilet paper so no one will have to interrupt your busy mom days with cries of toilet paperless despair. You need a break, I know it. So plan ahead, and buy the only toilet paper that gives you and your family a forgettable experience.
