Mark It With a "W"

When I was in the MTC my companion's name was Elder Wald. We decided early on that it made sense, given our small volume of total laundry, to combine our clothing into one load. Of course, since it mostly consisted of near-identical white items, we needed to mark the tags with our initial.

Ever since I was a kid I have used W as my marking initial, J being too ubiquitous a letter for practical use in our household. Accordingly, I marked all my clothing with a W without thinking too much of it. Imagine our collective frustration and amusement when Elder Wald and I later attempted to sort our clothingstuffs.

I had the same problem. I used to mark my stuff with an M. On the choir trip Maryanne got really made at me since we were app. the same height.
