We go through a lot of towels in this home. If you figure 8 of us bathing daily, that's a whole lot of towels. To reduce the amount of laundry and towels I have to fold, I have tried to get my children to reuse their towels over the course of a week, to hang them to dry so they still smell nice. It is a challenge, one that only taneal has figured out. Day after day I go into Camie and Danielle's room and again, towels are strewn all over, left to sour.
Well, Danielle came to me last night bragging about how she doesn't even use a towel anymore. She said she just doesn't need one because she figured out a better solution. She said that after she is done showering, she does jumping jacks in the shower before she gets out which makes all the water fall off. Pretty genius.
So tonight she showered, came in to give me my goodnight hug, and drenched me with her hair. She obviously had skipped the towel dry method and used her new jumping jacks dry method.
She thinks it works pretty well!

I have had the same towel dilemma over the years. Your kids solution would have saved my kids from my hoop'in & holler'in (nagging). I'll have to mention it to the 2 younger ones still at home. Good thing you have the protocol in place - for once the boys become teenagers and they shower more than once a day and their other clothes take up more space in a load of laundry . . . it gets much worse! But its all worth it!
