Michael Keaton did battle with an evil washing machine in Mr. Mom. I’m still a little scarred from that scene (though the vacuum cleaner he nicknamed “Jaws” was even more frightening).
I knew it! I have a pile of unmatched socks on the dryer waiting for their match to turn up. (I’ve heard recommendations to pin them together before washing, but that would require handling the boys’ dirty socks…eww.)
OH, SO TRUE.., But When I read the title I was expecting Walmart pictures again.
I wish I had my camera with me two weeks ago. (October) This gentleman, dressed “to the nines” in a white linen suit, black shoes and a black fedora, (complete with feather) leading a group of people (possibly a church group) through Walmart..(and the only thing I could think of was…White? After Labor Day???) ha ha ha.
Oh so true. Ask me how many single socks I have now. Every couple months, I do a purge and toss all the singles. Then more appear. Then more. It’s seriously creepy.
There has to be some truth to it. It happens to EVERYBODY. And I’ve even talked to the washer/dryer, saying, “Now, I know I saw both of these socks go in here. What happened to the other sock?”
