Surprise!

Remember when I said Alec was doing the laundry and loving it and what a great little helper he was and how he might have been using more fabric softener than soap but it just didn't matter because he was being sooo thoughtful and sweet? Remember that? Well, today I went to put a load of laundry in, while I stopped off home to bring the kids a lunch, and something between the drier and washer caught my eye. You know, in that bastard crevice where things accumulate like that one sock, pantyhose, nickles, clothing tags, straight pins, and the OCCASIONAL GIGANTIC MASS OF CONGEALED MASSIVE WORLD RECORD SETTING BALL OF DRIER LINT that Alec thoughtfully tossed there, time after time after time after time until it became almost lifelike. In fact, when I noticed it sitting there, I think it winked at me. It winked at me alright, it did until I got a broomstick and shoved it's ass into the trash can!
