This ought to bring a smile (or grimace) from all of you. I made my DD 10 grocery bags out of cotton so she could use them as she likes. First, I must say this is a brilliant student who got straight A's in school. A little over a year later, I asked how they were working out. She replied, "They were great, can you make me more?". What?? She explained "I used all of them the first month." ?! I just had to ask her how. She told me " They held everything I needed, but after using each one, I threw them away" (because she heard that they were not very sanitary). It never occurred to her to wash them! We had a good laugh, and I made her 10 more, and put washing instructions on each of them!
