A comfortable yarn with Mother out at work and Father in charge. While Father's back is turned a red track suit finds its way into the washing machine alongside the family wash which includes Mother's new white skirt. The inevitable results can't be washed away and mother must come to terms with a new pink skirt. It was interesting to see the reactions of shock and horror at the enormity of the crime as the children listening identified with the tale completely.
