I have a wonderful husband. Yes, I know I've said that on countless posts. He is wonderful in so many ways. One of the things I really appreciate these days is that he is so very helpful around the house. He does FAR more of the daily chores and tasks around here than I. I have primary baby duty so it works out.
But let's talk for a minute about laundry. When we built our house we bought new appliances, washer and dryer included. I purchased a pretty fancy set much to dear hubby's dismay. Not THAT fancy (not the kind you see on TV) but better than what he had in mind. He was all set on the small set with wash options of big, medium and small and hot and cold. I'm now rethinking my choice. Terrell does laundry regularly. All the moms reading this will be jealous. Right? But let's talk about his strategy. He places more laundry than I thought possible in one washer. It must take his elbow to get it all stuffed in there. He then, I'm convinced, proceeds to shove this load into the dryer with his foot. He must use his shoulder to coax the door closed, he then pushes the"Normal" load setting and walks away. A day or two later I innocently approach the laundry room with a truly "normal" load and once it's time to dry I open the dryer and have a burst of clothes come forth reminiscent of those old speaker commercials that then hit the floor and scare me flat against the back wall. It's pretty doggoned amazing. This is today's inventory of what I HAD TO FOLD from just one load:
4 Large Bath Towels (you know, the big fluffy kind)
2 Large Hand Towels
2 Pair of Khakis
1 Golf Shirt
5 Pairs Boxers
4 Pairs My Undies
4 Pairs of Socks
1 Big Sweatshirt
1 Pair of Sweatpants
Holy Batman! I love this guy. I just wish he added "folding" to the definition of doing laundry. :)

Hilarious!!! My hubby does laundry too but he doesn't fold very often either. Too funny! Thanks for the laugh
Too funny!!!! But hey, you gotta love him. Wait till a crayon, playdoh, chapstick, rocks, mulch, or various other objects start showing up because the "little one" puts in her pocket!!! Warn him now, and get him in the practice of checking pockets. Can't tell you how many pieces of laundry have been destroyed by crayons, gum, playdoh, and the such. Not too funny when it happens, but at least I can laugh at it now. LOL
So funny!!! My husband used to do laundry too and loads like that. I love him so much. He isn't allowed to help me anymore with that part of my daily chores. LOL
Looks like you've got a keeper!
