I'm crying laughing at the idea of the xiaolongbao triplets being tiny bath fiends? They're getting multiple baths daily? convincing various family members that they haven't been bathed yet to get another soak? the only thing that stops them is the fact that they're getting all scaly from all the baths and then some pointed questions about their habits.

Lan Fang, giving the baos their second daily bath: A-Lan is so busy with work and A-Fen's (eldest daughter) education. I'd better make sure the triplets get their daily bath right after lunch so that A-Lan doesn't have to worry about that at bedtime.
Wangxian, babysitting their chaos granddaughters in the afternoon so that Lan Fang can do chores without being disturbed: A-Lan and Lan are working themselves into the ground. We have the girls late in the day anyway, so we might as well give them their bath early so that they'll have dinner and go to bed without a fuss after they get home.
