My mother, indignant about my earlier posting regarding her shampoos and conditioners, helpfully pointed out the inaccuracy of the data I had presented; the thirty two bottles weren’t all hers, she explained, and they also weren’t all shampoo. Drawing on her background as a field-leading social science researcher, she conducted a more rigorous examination, allowing me to present this revised tally:

Along Side of Shower:
– 5 bottles of her shampoo
– 9 bottles of her conditioner
– 7 bottles of my father’s (or possibly my brother’s) shampoo
– 8 bottles of body wash
– 3 bottles of face wash
– 1 bottle of unidentifiable amber liquid

I stand corrected. Thanks, mom, for clearing that up.
