Assuming they’d fit they could all shower together and save plenty of water. That’d be an interesting arc for Signe.

As a real Olympic side note. Has there ever been an Olympics in modern times with as many disqualifications as this one or am I just more aware of it this time around?

As a kid, our water came from a spring. In the summer, Ma would always worry that it would run dry so she would make me take a bath in about an inch of water, she wouldn’t let me take a shower because it used too much water. In addition, it was her leftover bath water. I always thought it unfair that my much older siblings and my father got to take showers. And yes, I did sometimes just splash water on the soap instead of using it.

My hair is buzzed all over, never more than an inch long. My showers take about 5 minutes at the most. They include washing every square inch of skin.
