I never realized how usability is a different concept in a household with a three-year-old. He is happy to announce "I need a tissue" and to go blow his nose by myself (and perhaps even wash his hands afterwards). But my son isn't so good at taking just one tissue at a time. This means that the multipack of boxes with the open side - that assumes you just take one at a time - are relegated to our bathroom while I return to buying the pop-up dispensers for any place he might get a tissue. I thought it was kind of funny the first time I saw a pile of 10 in the garbage, but when I realized that my repeated reminders weren't doing anything and that it's just hard for little fingers to take just one tissue, I knew we'd have to do some re-arranging. Who knew?
