I have 30 towels and am blessed,

To have a child that thinks they’re all his!

Story time.

We have a rule in our house that came about when 13 of us were living in the house at one time. One towel per shower (unless you have long hair) and you have to use it multiple times. Hang your towel to dry.

That may seem unreasonable to many of you. But there is a method to the madness. You see 30 towels doesn’t go far with 13 people. 30 towels is 3 loads of laundry. And mom’s and dad’s out there know that’s not only a lot of work, that’s a lot of electricity and water.

You are clean already, so what is using a towel more than once to dry off water. *shrugs*

The rule stands to this day.

Except for one child so it seems…

I decide I really need a shower and I want a towel….I have to search high and low to find one! And I mean I went through the dirty laundry too! Where are my towels?

I ask hubby…do you know where the towels are?

Hubby replies… I’m assuming in your sons room! He gets a new one our two everyday!

Now wait a minute….you have to be kidding me? He has all 30 towels?

Hubby went into his room and came out with an arm full.

Went to our room and got his one towel and youngest son got his 2 towels….

Low and behold we have 26 towels now. Son had them all in his room!

Daughter has 2 and son in college has 2. So now I know where are 30 towels are….

So when I got finished washing towels I decide, guess what the kids are getting for Christmas this year?

Towels that I will monogram with their names. They get that towel and one other.

I swear I’m going to lock the towel closet from now on!

To be fair, I’m more than blessed to have a complaint like this. I love my children so much. And without these little irritations I don’t know where I’d be.
