My Silliness Amazes Me

I must have these blond moments 2 - 5 times every days, however, this one really cracked me up. Just the other day, I was in the laundry room, obviously doing my laundry. Anyway, I own a pair of leather work gloves, that have been through their fair share of abuse. I decided that I'd through them in the washing machine, and if they survived; it would be all the better. I have far more respect for them then, and they might come out looking a tad cleaner.

A few thoughts crossed my mind as I threw them in... I wonder if washing them will make them shrink? I wonder if I'll ever find a pair of work gloves that fit me so perfect (being that I'm a woman; and 99% of the work gloves sold in stores are manufactured for men). Anyway, I let all those thoughts go, and wandered into the house to get on with whatever it was I was doing.

I returned to the laundry room about 5 minutes later, with an additional item to through in with the same load. When I opened the lid of the washing machine, there was a gloved hand sticking straight up out of the washer's water. I was startled by the idea of a hand, an arm, or appendage in my washing machine... And then it dawned on me. It was my work glove. Air had been trapped in the glove, so it remained at the surface, and maintained the form of a hand. Duh! :o)
