There are a few chores that don’t get done in a timely manner at our house. (Okay, lots of chores. Lots of chores that don’t get done in a timely manner. Whatever.) Putting away laundry is one of them. It gets washed, it just takes a while to get put away.
So.
Q1: What’s worse than finding a stack of clean laundry on the end of your bed, waiting to be put away? (Well, lots of things, obviously, but stick with me a minute.)
A1: Why, finding a banana stuck in the stack of laundry! Of course.
Q2: And what’s worse than finding a banana stuck in the stack of clean laundry? (Okay, okay, lots of things; again, stick with me.)
A2: Finding half a banana in the clean laundry!
Oh yes.
Aaaaand, bonus question: Who thinks the other half actually got eaten (not left in a super-secret location that I have yet to discover)?
Yeah, me neither.
Silver lining: At least it’s not garbanzo beans.




Or, when your child spreads milk or juice or baby soap all over your clean clothes. Hmmm. Perhaps I also need to finish things in a timely manner?
This is my life.
Laundry.
Untimely.
Bananas.
