[quote=Anonymous]I imagine hippies in the sixties bathed less than daily. But average people in America bathed daily. But as for the actual old days, I've heard that once in a while, whole families would take turns bathing in the same tub of water - starting with the husband, then wife, then the children from oldest to youngest. That's where the expression "don't throw the baby out with the bath water" came from. Apparently, by the time they bathed the baby, the water was so dirty, the joke was that you could loose the baby in it.[/quote]
