Reminds me of what my Mama told about Grandma many years ago. It was while Mama still lived at home and before she married Daddy. Mama said she had been having to do the laundry most of the time for the whole family and knew how to do it and how much starch (flour and water) to use.

But one day Grandma told her, "Now don't starch my underwear". Mama said it made her so mad, since Grandma knew she had been doing the washing for a long time. So Mama said she made the starch so thick and dipped Grandma's underwear in it and they would stand alone when they dried. Grandma never told her how to do the laundry anymore. Wonder why???? LOL
