As children, my cousin and I occasionally stayed on the farm with my grandparents, where we made use of the two-seater outhouse. I remember sitting companionably with her in the outhouse, talking and reading the old Sears catalogs kept in there - and then using a page from the catalog for the purpose intended - as toilet paper. BTW, when "real" toilet paper became available, my grandfather would never go into the store to purchase it himself. Far too embarrassing.
