Do Towels Expire?

When you're gauging the passing of time, children are one of the best ways to realize that time is passing us by.  Kids grow up so fast; in the first three or four years they seem to change on a daily basis!  And before you know it, middle school, high school, getting their license, graduating even!

Since my kids are grown up, and my granddaughter is in high school, soon to be graduating (Yikes!), I found that as I got out of the shower and started to towel off, I was thinking back to the summer my daughter gave me a set of bath towels, hot pink and white, with a flip-flop beach theme.   And that's when I realized that it's been over ten years now since then.

Where does the time go???

Which led me to wonder .......
Is there an expiration date on towels? 

Once they've been washed a few dozen times is when I like them the best.  So it's no wonder I just keep on using them.  I've stopped and looked at towels or towel sets and wondered what kind I would like ... and never bought any new ones because I really *like* towels that the new-ness has been washed out of them!

Then again, I'm just weird .......
