Looks to me like assembly-line bathing. We do much the same here. The second the girls are out, itâs time for my son. If you donât have them all go in one after the other, bathtime can go on forever. My son (like Michael, by the looks of it) is an expert at avoiding the bath.
John Wesley was wise about many things, like Jesus didnât say you had to âwork your way to heavenâ, but if you want to follow him, there is a lot of healing and helping the poor that he did, and if you sit back and are evil and âsayâ you love him, well, hmm⊠but anyway, cleanliness next to Godliness Iâve never understood. And I hope I never do, because so not me. Well, kind of, but you know what I mean. Well down on my list of priorities after family, doing cool stuff, hopefully helping othersâŠ
my youngest grandson loves to take a shower but his idea of taking a shower is to just stand under the water and get wet, no soap, no shampoo, just water. He is 10 and his mom still has to go in and remind him to soap up and wash his hair. Kind of like Leave it to Beaver when him and Wally just ran water in the tub and got the towels damp but no real bath.

Reminds me of the saying âthrowing the baby out with the bath waterâ. I never understood that. It seems the baby should have been bathed first,then the adults. Now throw out the bath water.
Ironically, âCleanliness is next to impossibleâ was a chapter heading in the book âGirdle me a Globeâ (1957) by Eric Nicol. Mr. Nicol was a Vancouver humorist who wrote a column in the Vancouver Province while Lynn and I were growing up there.

Getting me out of the tub was usually the problem when I was a kid (2 or 3 minutes ago).

Itâs from Peanuts. Pigpen says âFor me cleanliness is not next to Godliness, itâs next to impossibleâ.

Michaelâs just like Calvin and Dennis the Menace when it comes to taking baths. I was always glad my three enjoyed baths 3 or 4 times a week.

Lynn saying âit came to mindâ isnât necessarily making a claim of originality.
