Ever since a red crayon melted in the dryer onto one of Tim's new favorite shirts there is a consistent conversation that mostly happens after the fact - after we find miscellaneous "things" under the wet clothes in the washer.
Now if we could only train ourselves to remember to first check pockets and then get undressed. I need to acknowledge that we're still working on it - plus it's much more exciting to find change and bills which I get keep instead of holding my breath and hoping it's not my clothes when I see a string from melted gum or notice a glob of chocolate from a left over cookie.
Over the past wave of laundry I put the laundry treasures on the counter and took a picture (before the camera broke - see previous post).
I found:
- money
- a blue plastic cube - not sure what from
- the red tube and 4 colored beads from the magic trick box on Eli's birthday
- a semi melted green and a black hollow rubber ball which I have no idea what they are from
- multiple mostly broken sea shells from our Vashon Island Weekend - I actually had to vacuum the washer in between loads to get the many small broken pieces out
- a wrench from a lego set
- plastic money
- a white rock
Needless to say Eli is a collector at heart and his pockets are one of his favorite stow away spots.
Thanks for the comment Stefanie...what's in your laundry?
