Our washing machine has been acting up. It tried and groaned and tried and groaned but just couldn't manage to spin all the water out of the clothes in the load.
Due to a stroke of luck, we had exactly one week remaining on our one-year warranty and called a repairman without delay. We finally found one that could come on a Saturday.
Saturday morning, we shoveled the piles of dirty clothes out of the way so that the repair man could reach the washer. The repairman arrived (on time!) with a belt full of tools but refused to make any promises about whether he could fix the machine.
He had it fixed within 10 minutes. Evidently the inner workings of the washer were jammed with not one, not two, but FIVE baby socks. Whirlpool washers have got some powerful spin action.
For $3 at Target we were able to buy a mesh laundry bag that will prevent this calamity from happening again.
So let that be a word of warning to all you parents washing small socks.
