The last several weeks have been incredibly busy for me. I had to take a day off work just to get things done around the house. Anyway, I say to my kid (12), "bring your dirty laundry down stairs and turn on the washer."
Well....
He sets his basket of dirty clothes down next to the washer and pushes start on the washer machine.
I walk by and hear the washer running and see his FULL dirty laundry basket next to the washer. That's when I realized he didn't put his clothes in the washer.
So I ask him why he didn't put his clothes in the washer...
"but mom, you didn't say put my clothes in the washer."
I guess I thought that was understood... So for nearly an hour, my washer has been washing no clothes.
There are days I worry that he might not be a very productive member of society... today is one of those days.
