Clean Laundry

The thing about clean laundry is... when it is not folded and put away...

• It does not start to cry
• It does not start to smell
• It does not become annoying (relatively speaking)
• It does not tell you that it's hungry
• It does not require sunshine
• It does not require water
• It does not need to expel any energy throughout the day
• It does not get into arguments with a sibling
• It does not try to explore the basement and accidentally fall down the stairs in the process
• It does not ask to watch television during the day
• It does not insist on showing you the beautiful picture that it colored, or perform a song and dance for you
• It does not injure itself wrestling on the trampoline with siblings
• It does not step in dog droppings
• It does not lose its pacifier at naptime
• It does not request a bedtime story
• It does not want to cuddle
• It does not ask to bake something "all by herself" in the kitchen
• It does not ask to have a friend come over to play
• It does not ask how many days until cheerleading practice starts
• It does not ask for snacks
• It does not need its hair done
• It does not need its face washed
• It does not lose its shoes and socks

Basically, clean laundry does not know how to get my attention... which is why, throughout this Spring Break, it has continued to sit in an EVER GROWING mountain in our family room.
