How many towels does it take to dry off one kid after swim practice?

My daughter came home from swim practice soaking wet — again. I handed her a towel. She used it to dry her goggles. I handed her a second towel. She wrapped her hair. Third towel? The swim bag.

Punchline

Four towels later, she air-dried on the couch. The towels went straight into the hamper, and I went straight into denial about laundry day.
