DS wears a white shirt as part of his (secondary) school uniform. He owns 6 shirts. In theory he puts a clean one on every day, which works well as I wash all the dirty ones at the weekend, so he has a "spare" shirt in case they are not quite all dry and ironed for Monday. Of course he doesn't always remember to change his shirt so sometimes he has more than one in hand come Monday morning.
Last night (so Thursday) at 9pm, DS tells me he needs a clean shirt for today. I reply that he can't possibly as I washed all the shirts in the basket on Saturday. I ask suspiciously if he actually put all his dirty shirts in the washing basket or simply chucked them under his bed. DS replies that all his dirty shirts are in the basket now, which I take to be a confirmation of my theory.
I tell DS that I am not washing a shirt at 9 o'clock the night before it is needed and that he will have to fish a shirt out the basket and salvage it as best he can for Friday. I follow up by pointing out that this is why he should put things in the wash, or at least give me a bit of notice if he needs something.
DS was a bit huffy, but obviously had no choice (short of washing the shirt himself which he wasn't about to do). WIBU?
