earning a Blue Ribbon in Creative Failing. . .

today, i went to put my whites in the dryer. 
and they were already dry. 
because i never managed to actually put them in the wash. 

the good news?
the inside of my washing machine is sparkling clean. 

yep. 
. . . pretty much. 

anth laughed at me. 
then immediately looked concerned. 
"but, will i have clothes for tomorrow?"
i informed him that, yes, i would now run the wash with the clothes on the inside of the machine. 

he looked relieved. 
and then concerned again. 
"mom?"
"hmmm?"
"it's okay that you're a little rough around the edges."

bless his heart for coming to terms with this at so early an age.
