But not the illegal kind!
I finally got around to ironing a bunch of shirts the other evening – they’d been hanging in the laundry room, patiently waiting, for quite a while. One had something in the front pocket. This was strange, because Mr. C. seldom puts anything in his shirt pockets.
It was a $10 bill, all nice and clean from its trip through the washing machine. It was a bit wrinkled, though, so I touched it up with the iron. I consider it to be a tip for me!
Have you ever washed clothes with money in the pockets? With anything else in the pockets? Tell me about something (other than Kleenex) that you’ve inadvertently washed and later found when it was clean.

Chapstick *grumble grumble grumble*

Found items in dryer: tissues well washed and dried, assorted change, barrettes, pony tail holders, stickers no longer stuck, a rock and if I turn my back to get the basket, kittens climb in.
Never have had the good luck to get a ten though. 15 cents is my greatest laundry payment. 😉

Chapstick. Ewwww. That must be gooey.
Quite the haul, K. At least you haven’t found any amphibians or reptiles…

I seem to find lots of washed chapstick. They don’t taste as well after a trip through the laundry, so they go to the trash when they get ‘refound’. Being a nurse, I tend to wash and find a lot of alcohol prep pads, still in their foil packages. They still work after a trip through the washer and dryer.

One of the kids put their hearing aids through. The fact that I can’t remember which one did this shows you how desperately I’ve tried to suppress this memory.

Yikes, Gina – did the hearing aid survive?

I’m fairly certain repairs were required. I was not a happy mum there for a few days.

Ack, hearing aids through the wash? My girl thought she left her phone in her pants when she started the wash. Panic. Almost an unhappy me. 😉
My mum wasn’t happy when I left a lipstick in a pocket.
Oh, was I in trouble.

Hmm. My chapsticks end up in the bottom of my purses, where the lids come off (faeries, obviously, making mischief) and they get covered in lint. Lipsticks, too. It’s icky, but not so icky as finding them in the washer.
Maybe I should be thanking those mischievous faeries!
