*You may have read previously, my son Snarky, the Maniacal Genius, always kept me on my toes on laundry day. I never knew what amazing “treasure” I would find amongst clothes in the dryer. This one was one for the books. I still have nightmares about my hand closing around this “treasure”…*
As a mother, I have come to expect finding oddities in and amongst the laundry…legos, lipstick, gum, rocks, markers, crayons, even a Ziploc baggie full of frosting…just things that make you shake your head or growl because it has wrecked clothes or you had to redo the wash to fix it…today I had a serious WTF! Laundry moment…as I am pulling clothes out of the dryer, my hand meets with something kind of squishy. My first thought is Dammit!! What in the world is that and am I going to have to redo this whole load??!.. I fish it out of the dryer and open my hand…squeak a little and throw it straight into the air and it drops to the ground with a weird squishy thud! I spend about 20 seconds inspecting it because I cannot believe my eyes…What in the holy hell??….
Yes folks…you are not imagining things! I found a nose in my laundry…after my initial disbelief and my heart has started beating at a normal rhythm again, I started to wonder which one of my brainiac children is carrying a nose around in their pocket and for what reason? Some days I guess it really doesn’t pay to chew through the straps…..
*singing softly under my breath* They are coming to take me away…Haahaa
