It's not a stereotype, Jdub. I was being facetious about my own son, who is the only 21-year-old college senior I know who has managed to avoid doing laundry for his entire college career, either when he's away at school or when he's home. At school, he either spends money to have someone else do it for him, or he sweet-talks one of his friends' mothers who lives closer to the university or one of his ladyfriends. At home, he defies our agreement that he must do his own wash and he lets it pile up until it becomes a health hazard. I learned a month ago that he was trying to slip our housekeeper money under the table to do his laundry for him. When I caught onto (and shot down) that plan, I learned from my mother that he'd approached her about the task.

We're having a laundry showdown. If I have to send him back to school with an 18-wheeler full of filthy clothes, underwear, bedding and towels, I'll do it. I'm going to win this one.

I meant what I said about being thrilled to hear of familiarity with the "laundry arts." It gives me hope.
