My sister's child minder did exactly this one time...
She took the kids next door to visit her parents pet pigs (Saddlebacks,
not those tiddly Vietnamese things!) and hose them own one very hot day.
The kids (her little girl, Little Sis's two lads) all got exceedingly
muddy, so the child minder hosed them down on the patio, stripped them
to their skin, carried each one through to the downstairs bathroom of
her parents house, and bathed them while the clothes were in the washer.
When my sister went to collect her two boys, the younger was dressed in
some of the daughter's clothes and a spare pair of pink flip-flops, but
the older (aged 5) utterly refused to put girl's clothes on, so sis had
to carry him up the lane, all nekkid and unadorned! If she'd known
their state she would have taken spare clothes with her. Typical of my
older nephew: naked rather than a pink T shirt and leggings! We still
giggle about that one, even though he's now 15.
Mum didn't *quite* hose Big Sis and me down, but she did stand us in the
kitchen sink and strip us after one particularly grand half hour in the
garden after rain and a 3" deep puddle full of grass cuttings...
Judging from the pix Dad took, I was about 18 months old.

Before buying a sewing machine that did button holes, I used grommets in
my sheet shower curtains. I always re-enforced the portion I was using
as the top by adding a piece of an old sheet double the width of the
hem. Folded it over sewed it to the side that faced the tub, nice and
neat looking and put in the grommets. Never had one pull out. Right now
I'm using a ready made lace curtain with vertical button holes. It's
been up for at least 6 years, washed in the machine multiple times and
has never had a tear. Of course I don't have any curtain swingers around
right now.

Ya just never know. Mine don't swing on the curtain, but they do both seem
to think that it will double as a hand towel. *sigh* Which one is the
worst about this you ask? The boy? Or the girl? Why my delicate little
flower of course. When I walked past the bathroom door one day to find her
wiping her hands and face on the shower curtain I nearly had kittens.
Himself just comes out of the bathroom shaking like a dog.
......it's always sumpthin'
