Why a hand towel
Why do you need to have a hand towel in the bathroom instead of just a great big bath towel. Well let me tell you why I wish I had one in my bathroom yesterday.
It was the morning time - not the best of times - but hey I have 4 teenage daughters. I was in the bathroom shaving or at least trying to shave. I kept getting kicked out as everyone migrated towards this room to fix hair or put on makeup. Anyway back to my life, my cell phone rang so I answered it because the call displayed came up and it was a buddy of mine. He didn't want anything so we chatted for a minute and hung up. I placed my cell phone on the edge of the counter and finished up shaving, not giving it another thought.
Just at that time my wife walks by the bathroom and politely reminds me to clean up after myself and make sure the sink and counter are clean like she had it. Ok i'll be honest it was exacvtly polite (we've been married for 26 years)what she really said was "don't leave a mess like you always do" - "do you think you can handle that after all this time" Well I was going to show her.
Not seeing a small towel nearby I picked the large bath towel off the floor where I was going to fold it nicely, (later) I then proceeded to show my wife I cared, I wiped out the sink with it and then started wiping off all the drips on the counter. Just about then I took a large fast swipe along the counter top and didn't notice my cell phone sitting close to the edge because the towel was kind of too big to use.
Needless to say the cell phone went flying off the bathroom counter into the toilet with one big splash. Yes it was turned on and yes I had to reach down to my elbow to fish it out. After rasising it from the deep, I noticed that it was fryed and I spent the rest of the morning looking for a new cell phone to buy.
Who do I blame: well my wife of course because if we had proper bathroom hand towels I could have used one of them instead of a great big bath towel. My stroy is that I would have seen it if the towel wa smaller. And just in case you are wondering what I did with the towel after I dryed my arm off from being in the toilet. I hung it up in my wifes bathroom (Just kidding) but I did think of it.
I have to go now because my wife bev will be coming into her office in a minute to work and I am not really allowed to post thing in her blog unless I ask. So much for 24 or maybe its 27 years of very happy years of marriage, honey

That's just too funny. Maybe next time you won't need to be asked twice to clean the bathroom.
