Our children are missing the use-a-towel-hang-up-wet-towel-on-rod chip. What the H-E-L-L?

| My Amazon cart at the moment. I am bummed that the large Rubbermaid container that is intended for a patio will add no aesthetic value to my upstairs hallway, but maybe I should leave it outside on the deck and make them go out there to fetch a towel - that'll teach them, right? |
This time: a child can only shower when I am home. Child wishing to shower, hands me a $10 towel deposit. The deposit is returned when the SAME towel is hung up after the shower on that child's assigned towel rod AND I witness it. Hard? I wouldn't think so. I feel like all I do is collect damp or crusty towels from bedroom floors and other odd places. Like the formal living room furniture, or in front of clean laundry piles in my bedroom - where some people like to take their chances of having a family member surprise them and enter the bedroom while they are mid-dressing. That would be awkward.
When grilled, no one knows anything about towel displacement. It is all shrugs and head shaking and blank stares. They plead the 5th.
I might make the entire lot of them fork over $10 when I discover a mislaid towel. That would equate to $60 per towel discovery. My hope: they join forces with me and start to pay close attention to their goofy siblings.
The problem here is that this crew of rule-breakers will snag a beach towel from the beach bin or a high end towel from my bathroom (my towels are not REALLY high end, but they are a tad thicker than kid towels). Solution: I am currently shopping for a lockable container where I will be forced to store ALL TOWELS. That's right. I am kicking ass and taking
totally unrelated: SKINNY POP
This stuff is delish. Am I the only one that has my head halfway in the bag chowing down on it before I realize that it can probably no longer be referred to as 'skinny' anything? Once I swallow half so many handfuls in one standing (I almost never sit), it is not adding to my skinny-self.

My kids are missing the if-you-hang-a-towel-flat-it-will-dry gene. Or really, the understanding that anything wet and left in a ball/pile will merely molder and stink rather than drying. I like the towel lock-down plan!
I get a glimpse of your towel dilemma any time the grandkids visit or we are at their house. There are only three of them however.
Do you remember Snackwell's cookies? They were a hit in the 90s, not sure if they are even around anymore. But they were low-fat and I would still end up eating an entire box and defeating the purpose.
I LOVE the $10 idea!! Maybe you can make money off the deal and run away to Mexico DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?
So far I have not had to add bulky/ugly furniture to my decor. The threat of financial penalty has helped. Some.
As with many house related messes, Coach and I do not remember these same issues happening when we were growing up.
I do remember snackwells. Yum. I have chosen to hide my wad of cash for fear the kids will start trying to recapture their lost funds. #halfwaytomexico
I would lose my marbles over the towels being dropped here and there.
Heads would roll.
Suz would be in jail.
End of story.

Skinny pop. I might have had it before. But then I went to rehab for it and now I'm clean.
Ha! The towels is just the tip of the iceberg over here. They all leave a trail. Hefty fines have begun to be collected. Don't move it the first time - they double. I have their attention. What do they serve at rehab for skinny pop, pirate's booty?
