The Ghost Towel

This Ghost Towel is too cute to accurately reflect the true horror that is bath time. Not only for the child, but for the weary parent who has to chase a naked, dirty child around the house in order to cajole, wheedle, threaten and ultimately wrangle their spry offspring into the tub. Unfortunately, getting them into the water is only half the battle. Now that they’re wet, the advantage is all theirs as the slip and writhe out of your grasp as you feebly attempt to wash them. Afterwards, the chase resumes as you try to catch them streaking through the house, leaving a slippery trail of water in their wake for you to slip and slide on. It’s a freaking miracle I haven’t broken a hip yet repeating this ritual, TWICE a night with my two boys.

My son perked up when he saw this towel on my computer screen and asked if I could buy it for him. This retails for about $35 (U.S. Dollars), so it’s not the cheapest towel you could buy for a kid. But if it makes him hold still for even a nanosecond while I dry him off, it’s well worth the money.
