I don’t think my friends know how much I love them. I thought I was clear how important they are to me, but I might just have to come out and say it directly. I bring this up because last Friday I had a few friends and their kids over for pizza and a pleasant walk to see the huge Christmas light display down the street from my house. There were a good nine adults and ten kids. We hung out for at least four hours at my house, and in that time I am sure everyone used the bathroom at least once. So with all those people, in all that time, NONE OF THEM USED THE SPECIAL TOWELS! I set out my cute Christmas towels for them to dry their hands in the bathroom. They were right there next to the sink. It was obvious what they were there for. The plain white towel hanging on the bar looked well used, so I know they washed their hands. None of them felt important enough to use the fancy towels? This breaks my heart. I could think of it a different way. It could be that the fancy towels are for guests, and they feel so comfortable that they don’t consider themselves guests. Yes… that is what I am going to think as I put away the fancy towels so the baby bassets don’t use them. GET YOUR GRUBBY PAWS OFF MY FANCY TOWELS BOYS!
