Is that a corncob in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

It's no secret that I do a lot of laundry around here. And in that time, I have washed and/or dried some unusual items, including:

*corn
*soybeans
*buckeyes
*rocks
*pocket knife
*business card holder
*wallet
*chapstick
*crayons
*iPod
*cat
*mulch
*coins

Okay, I should explain the cat. Once, several years ago, I was moving clothes from the washer to the dryer. Apparently, Tiger (a very curious kitty-cat) hopped into the dryer when I wasn't looking. I turned on the dryer and started to walk away. I immediately heard, "Thump-thud. Thump-thud."

I knew that couldn't be good. But when I opened the dryer, I certainly didn't expect to see a cat hop out. But besides being a bit dizzy and disoriented, he was fine.


Well, he only has 3 legs. But I swear I had nothing to do with that!

Anyway...

The latest item to show up in my laundry?


A corn cob.

Somehow the Boy managed to leave a corn cob in his pocket all day long. It went through the washer, but when I was putting the clothes into the dryer, I noticed something sticking out of the pocket.

Luckily he had already taken most of the corn off of it...so the damage was minimal. But still. A corn cob? In the laundry? Who does that?



Little boys, that's who.
