Towels

If your a parent of multiple children...especially girls, there is no end to what they will fight over.  My recent experience...bath towels.  In most cases this would lead you to somehow believe that maybe I only own a couple of towels, so the fight is who gets one and who is using a washrag to dry themselves.......and although that is a pretty funny assumption (as i'm imagining Kimery standing there with her chunky little body holding a washrag over her privates), it happens to not be the case.  The girls have PLENTY of towels.  A closet full of them.  Except that my small bodied children require larger towels so they can dry themselves and then throw and even larger soaking wet towel onto the floor.  In an effort to alleviate my anger at picking up the towels, I hung some towel hooks right beside the tub/shower, so that all they had to do was reach over and hang it after their bath/shower.  Caitlin has decided that in order to "know" which towel is hers she will hang it on the shower.....not approved by the towel police. 

With my childrens need for large bath towels, I purchased 8 of them.  4 blue, 4 purple because I have to match their bathroom...it's just the way things are.  Last night there were 2 blue towels hanging on the 2 towel hooks.  Simple math...2 children, 2 towels, 2 towel hooks.  Caitlin was in a rage because somehow Kimery mistakingly or just in not giving a crap which towel she used must of used Caitlins towel!!!!  HOW DARE SHE!!!!  Somehow when Kimery reached for a blue towel she was to know which one is Caitlins.....she is to have a special towel sense I guess.

I bet your on the edge of your seat reading this to find out my solutions...right?  :-)

So, you may have noticed that the girls have two colors of towels....purple and blue.

Last night in my rage at these two little nerds who are fighting over towels, I assign them a towel color (which I think is absolutely ridiculous).  They are to use ONLY their color.  There...problem solved.  Well, this particular towel issue....the fight over using a towel more than once is my next challenge.  Now I will spend my days praying that they remember which color is theirs because as of right now, I have no clue what I assigned...
