Another strange thing happened during my second marriage. My wife and I and three step-children went to a barbecue grill and the kids were in the restroom washing their hands. Two came out but one stayed for a lengthy amount of time.

The location where we were sitting was some distance from the restroom so I didn't hear the sounds the proprietor heard. I saw him suddenly wipe his hands on his apron and head rapidly into the restroom. He came out holding the arm of the remaining step-son. I asked him what was the problem and he replied that the boy had been continuously pulling the cloth towels through the wall mounted towel machine.

I asked my step-son why he was doing that and he said he was "cleaning" them. He thought that the dirty ones were coming out cleaned, not realizing that the towels were being transferred from a supply roll to a take up roll. He thought he was doing a good deed.
