Kyle & Owen after a visit from MorMor (i.e., after MorMor left us with literally dozens of loads of clean and folded laundry), March 2006.Through the blogosphere, via email, from far far away (at home in New Hampshire), MorMor has requested a post on the blog! This is a first for the Johnson-McCormick Family Blog! A Guest Blogger From A Distance! Here's MorMor's blog post for today:
How many mother-in-laws have gotten the following phone call?....
I answer the phone in NH
Janet: Hello
Braydon: Oh my gosh, the washer and dryer came today and I just have to say thank you for shaming me into buying new ones.
Janet: They came today?
Braydon: I just put in at least 20 towels from the washer into the dryer. It's so quiet. Now I'm putting "all" the boys clothes in the washer right now. Oh my gosh it's so quiet, listen can you hear it? No you can't because it's so quiet. I should have done this a long time ago. Holy crap this is amazing!!!
Janet: laughing hysterically, Oh my gosh Braydon, you are so funny!
PS The washer they have had for the last 10 years was an apartment size for one or two people. Braydon, who is responsible for all the cleaning and laundry in the house, was stuffing so much into the washer that the clothes never got to agitate and even with a dryer sheet in the dryer (which rumbled, and I mean so loud that we couldn't do laundry when the boys were asleep) the clothes always smelled bad. Last week when I was there it took 3 loads to do the boys laundry basket (Braydon would have considered it one load). The next day Braydon was cuddling one of the boys, I can't remember who, and he says to me "the clothes smell so good". At that point another discussion was had about the new large capacity, low water washers and dryers. Right then and there he went online and ordered them!!!
Kyle and Owen know this... your Papi is my laundry hero!
