Why Didn't Jarid Bury Them at the Bottom of the Pile???

Rating: PG (for Suggestive Body Language)

Two days ago, Jarid took some whites out of the dryer, piled them into a basket and put the basket in our family room downstairs where we typically fold laundry. (He is SO good about keeping up on laundry that I have to work hard to get a load done before he does.) He's great! But this time I guess he didn't notice what was on top of the pile.

The next morning the kids were eating breakfast and suddenly they turned toward me full of giggles.

Julian: "We found something in the laundry and we don't know what it is."

Logan, still giggling, "Yeah, mom, what is it?"

My mind started racing as I thought of what they might have found. Then I remembered a recent evening with Jarid and asked, "Was it white with little red hearts?"

More giggling. The giggling was constant really.

"YES!" they chimed.

"Well, why were you digging in the laundry?"

"We weren't. They were on the top."

What in the world? On the top?

Logan was standing now and giggling so hard he was doubled over. He straightened a bit, made a triangle with his fingers and dropped them below his waist. Gasping to catch his breath he blurted, "Does it go here?!"

Oh my gosh! I thought. Quickly I offered, "I'll think about how to explain it while I take a shower. " I rushed downstairs and, like lightening, hid the stringy item in question.

Thankfully, they haven't brought it up again! But it's only been two days...!!!
