That's news to me

Our 4 year old neighbor came over to play with Dorian yesterday while I finished hoeing the garden. (It's done! Sort of.) As usual, she had no shoes on despite the 39 degree temperature. She fell off our swing and was crying which led to a runny nose. I went inside to get her a tissue so she would stop using her shirt. (No coat either, of course.)

I wiped her nose and she said, "We don't really believe in these tissues. And we don't believe in toilet paper either. That's because we're Jews. I'm a Jew."

Is there something about this in the Torah?
