Wheres the washing?!

Saturday afternoon I separate the dirty clothes in need of washing into 2 groups.

Group 1 is placed in the machine, ready to be washed and hung out on Sunday.

Group 2 is placed in the basket, ready to be washed and hung out after Group 1 has been done.



Sunday afternoon I come home and find Group 2 missing. Group 1 is still in the machine though so I start the load and go in search of Group 2. After walking around the house and seeing no sign of clothes, I ask Ben if he knows where they are.

He tells me “they’re out on the line”…

I think “cool, he emptied the washing machine of Group 1, washed Group 2, hung them out to dry, then put Group 1 back in ready for me to wash – weird but at least he did SOMETHING!”

I walk outside to check the clothes all pegged and blowing in the wind: "nice – not bad!”

I walk back inside and comment its strange that he would do the washing in such a weird order but if it works for him, I’m fine with it!

He stares at me blankly.

I realise somethings wrong.

OMG it clicks - he didn’t do the washing! He thought I had washed Group 2 the night before so he just hung them out in the morning! I start laughing. Kim starts laughing. Ben starts smiling…



Apparently whilst hanging the clothes outside, he commented to Kim that his t-shirt still smelled “sweaty”. Kim sniffed and put it down to the “washing detergent smell,” so they carried on…hanging DRY, dirty clothes onto the line!

Ewww…gross! But totally funny! :)
