Lesson #1 : The Towel Virus

Tuesday, August 05, 2008 at Tuesday, August 05, 2008

I would like to start by pointing out that while this is not the first life lesson that Jen ever told me this is the ultimate thought that inspired this blog's initial creation. Also, due to the cyclical nature of our relationship and conversation topics, i am fairly confident that previous taught lessons will reemerge with new and fascinating insights. And of course be shared with you...


The Towel Virus

This is one of those lessons with absolutely no founding...

Jen and i had been dating for almost nine years before we got married nearly two months ago. Like many newlyweds, we received lots of new home essentials and this week we got brand new towels. Prior to these new towels, we had been living off the many monogrammed ones we received after we graduated from high school 8 years ago. Now that we have brand new towels there was the ever present question of what do we do with the old ones...?

While most would argue that the towels were old and it was their time to go. Jen decided to go a different direction with her argument to me. She said "we should let them go because they smell old and they could be carrying some sort of a towel virus" This was the first time i had ever heard of such a virus or its many varieties, but then again my knowledge is severely limited when it comes to towels. We of course laughed about it because the point of a possible virus was unnecessary and if such a virus does exist, the towel virus currently must be in a dormant stage, because there have been no reports of affected persons.

I would also like to add that when pondering such a virus afterwards, the very first health problem that came to Jen's mind was that the virus would cause your breast to fall off. So if this happens to you or someone you know, quarantine/burn their towels immediately.

the towel virus spreads to other towels too, destorying the new ones with dingy smells and torn seams, thus they would never be the same.

How is Jen so wise beyond her years?? I've never thought of that before but after hearing it presented like that, I totally get it. And I definitely don't want to be lopsided. Thanks, Jen.

I am not so sure about the towel virus but I am sure there are some harmful bacteria that collect on old towels. I like the new blog!
