The Lighter Side
I try to wash a load of clothes every day or so to keep ahead of the dirty clothes. I sometimes put these in before I go to work. Tara takes them out and puts them in the dryer when she gets home.
I had a lot of washing to do a few weeks back when the camper was invaded by ants. After spraying the camper, I took all the bedding and bath things into the house to wash (I had to spray everywhere - it was infested with the little black ants). I put a load of blankets in the wash that day. Ta took them out and a mouse dropped on her clothes on the top of the dryer. She screamed, realized it was dead and then had to get the nerve to get rid of it. A few days after that, I was cleaning and washing clothes. I took the clothes out of the washer and a lizard was in the washer and it was ALIVE. I threw a pair of Mike's pants in the wash and turned it on. I guess I thought if it was squished it could go all over his pants. It did kill the little creature and Mike had to get his pants and it out of the washer (I did rewash his pants!). This week, I was washing clothes and there was a "stick" on the agitator. I lifted it off to throw it away and it began to move. It got thrown to the floor and stepped on (it was a worm).
I have just about come to the conclusion that it might be better of someone else does the laundry!!!!!!!!!!!!

Icky! Double icky! :) But it makes me think of a story or two. A niece had a litter of puppies at her house one year. One of them wandered into the laundry room and curled up in the dirty clothes on the floor......buried up in them would be a better word. Well.......you can guess the rest. Heartbroken, to say the least! And then there was the time I, lover of all small animals and especially cats, accidently tossed some towels into the dryer, not knowing the house cat of the moment had climbed into the dryer while my back was turned. Her fate was better than the puppy's was because it only took a thump or two to realize something was askew! When we pulled her out, she had to get her breath, of course, but she was okay. However, she didn't go near the dryer again!
At least the things of which I have caused the demise have been creatures that we all wonder what they are good for (I know that is grammatically incorrect).
Had that "stick" been a snake, we would have never known other than you had died of a massive coronary!
