My daughter-in-law caught me at this. I save clothing tags until I see how the new clothes wash up. Old habits. If all is well, I throw them away. But sometimes I cut off the tags, throw the new item in the laundry room, and don’t wash it for a few days. The tags sit on the table in the dining room, which, yes, is clutter.
So here’s how it went down: My daughter-in-law walked by the table, swept them up, and threw them in the trash. I don’t even think she thought much of it. She is a wife and Mom. She works hard at maintaining sanity in their modest home. It was probably a reflex – lol. She knew the clothes the tags went to were a good brand for our grandson, and they would be perfectly fine after washing. I, on the other hand, haven’t bought Geranimals in 25 years.
I noticed, and didn’t say a thing. Ok, yes, and I had a moment of “I like your confidence.”
Turns out Geranimals still makes great casual kids clothes. The “next time you come to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and get dirty and Grandma wants to give you a new outfit” clothes did, indeed, wash up perfectly fine. Whew! Cuz we already took out that bag of trash with the tags ;).
