Towels

So recently Amy posted on facebook a question regarding how many towels a family owns.  I didnt think much of the question until tonight as I was faced with this

AFTER I just folded a whole basket of towels!  How many towels does a family of 5 (one of which uses her own baby towels!) need?  In addition to this pile we have 12 more in the linen closet!  And my next question is- how many people are showering at our house? 

Ahh, the joys of laundry continue......although it sure would go faster with that front load washer/dryer you were talking about Amy!
