Laundry Surprises

Here's a helpful laundry hint: when putting the contents of your child's hamper in the washer, check carefully for hidden bonus items. VERY carefully. Sure, you THINK he's only put five (unused) diapers in there, but you may well find that one has snuck through your sorting process, soaked up twenty gallons of wash water, and then exploded little gel pieces all over the washer.

Stupid: little gel pellets all over the washer and the floor.
Cool: My goodness, those things are absorbent.
