Got Paper? Bossy’s Excellent Giveaway.

Who remembers Bossy’s son and his best friend? This photo represents a very familiar pose for both of them, as they struggle to catch breath after something very funny.

And here’s the something very funny:

He’s the father of Bossy’s son’s best friend, and for fifteen years he’s been keeping the two boys in stitches—when not driving them to the hospital for actual stitches, which is another story.

Ever know the kind of dad who wakes up before he should every morning for seven years so he can deliver his son and his best friend to school in the front seat of his pickup truck where he rouses the two grumpys by threatening a claw hand between two ribs?

How about the kind of dad who will throw those same two boys plus a few more boys in the back of his pickup truck so they can go to the airport to watch the planes land, or deliver them to batting cages, or treat them to bowling, golfing, midnight movies, or after-concert ice cream sundaes?

This dad, who belongs to Bossy’s son’s best friend, has worked for Kimberly Clark/Scott Paper for his entire career—working his way up through the ranks and proving as indispensable to the daily output of their products as he was essential in shaping men out of an assortment of neighborhood boys.

For over a decade in Bossy’s house, they have been exclusive users of Kimberly Clark/Scott Paper products because: see previous paragraph about claw hand between two ribs.

Which is why Bossy is thrilled to get the chance to tell you about Scott Common Sense, an interactive website that allows its readers to ask household questions, share tips, and read articles about cleaning and organizing the home in time-effective, economical, and healthy ways.

In just a few minutes on the site, Bossy discovered an easy method for saving this year’s seeds, how to improve the cling of plastic wrap, and how to repel fleas without the use of insecticides.

In appreciation for all that Kimberly Clark/Scott Paper has meant to Bossy’s son, where one 3-scoop sundae is $4.29 x 15 years, Bossy is offering one reader the following prize:

A $100 Visa gift card and a year’s supply of Scott Towels and Bath Tissues.

Just leave a comment below, one per person, please. The contest will run through Monday September 29th, at which time Bossy will employ her friend the random number generator to select a winner. Good luck!

  43. Little known ShallowGal fact: She believes the commercial that ANY job can be done with one paper towel. Therefore a one year supply = 4 rolls.
