I just talked to my 19 year old son, Clancy. We were going over the plans for the day. I was telling him that he needed to do a couple loads of laundry. Now, my kids have been doing laundry in some form since they were little. They have been taught to turn their clothes right-side out (they HAVE been taught), they were also taught to sort their laundry (whites, colors, jeans), and they were taught how to fold their laundry and put it away (really). While talking to Clancy, I reminded him to sort the clothes because he hasn't been doing really well at that lately. He said "I do sort". He then went on to explain that he knows that if you put reds with whites, they end up pink, etc. Then the clincher..... I sometimes put my blacks with the whites - "BECAUSE BLACK REALLY ISN'T A COLOR".
I just can't even respond to that. I am speechless. The End!

Well, when his garments turn gray, then he will see the realness of black.
LOL! Wait until he is on his mission and all his white shirts turn grey. :) Then he will get it.
Ok laugh if you must but I'll give a shout out to Clancy - sometimes I don't sort - I mean isn't that why our clothes are super coated in all kinds of junk nowadays - so they'll be color-fast. So far no major problems. Besides its the same as my dishwasher rule - EVERYTHING in my house goes in the dishwasher - if it doesn't survive I shouldn't own it anyway. I'll never have to worry about someone calling me Martha.
