OK tip!
If you have an anally retentive child, do NOT I repeat DO NOT GET a set of underwear that is 1 for each day of the week.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Sarah?"
"Can I wear the same underwear to bed that I wore today to school?"
"Ummm... NO!?"
"How come?"
"Because... EWWWWW!!!!"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean - you know - EWWWWW!!!!!!"
"But Mom. They aren't dirty!"
"Sarah. You just took a shower. You cannot put your clean butt in dirty panties."
"But. I'm confused and I don't know what to do. The new underwear is sooooo nice, and it feels good."
"OK so put on another pair of them."
"I can't. It's not Tuesday yet."
"OK so what do you think is going to happen?!? You are going to hear a voice in the bed: SAAAARAAAAH. THIS IS YOUR BUTTTTTT. I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE IT'S NOT TUESDAY YET, I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP TILL MIDNIIIIIIGHT."
"Well no. But shouldn't I wear the Tuesday underwear tomorrow?"
"Oh for God's sake. OK put on some other day. Like Saturday. Saturday's party day. Par-tay!"
"Mom what are you saying? I don't understand."
"I'm saying - get a clean pair of underwear. On your butt now."
And it went on for 10 more minutes. She's wearing a pair of the old underwear to avoid day conflict. And now I need to go and buy another packet of days of the week underwear so there will be an AM and a PM pair.
My own fault, I have lived with this person for 10 years.

Sadly, I completely understand Sarah's logic. Thanks, Mom.
Yes. I am raising my mom.
I don't know how you could even question Sarah. Her thinking is clearly right on the mark. What's the matter with you?
thank god, I thought this discussion only happened in my house. We also have it with play clothes and school clothes.
