In the 60's DH was left on the farm with 2 kids - a toddler, and the other one crawling - whilst I went into town to do the weekly shopping. He decided to do the washing, and threw a pair of the crawling toddler's red tartan overalls in with the wash - didn't separate the whites from the coloureds - and ended up with pink undies. Had to go to football training that night with pink undies. Wouldn't tell me what the comments from the boys were, but I can guess.
