Mom's Laundry Rules



1. Pajamas -
Do not put pajamas in the dirty clothes after only one wear. It is
Scientific fact that you do not get dirty while sleep. Pajamas can be worn
Many times before they smell bad enough to warrant being thrown in the
Dirty clothes. Exception: You may put pajamas in the dirty clothes if you
Throw up on them or something else that may be deemed disgusting, but only
If they stink.

2. Socks -
Unroll your socks before putting them in the dirty clothes. Otherwise, I
Will start washing and drying them in their original rolled up little
Balls. Special note: Unroll socks before throwing them down the laundry
Chute. If you don't, the law of physics causes them to bounce off the
Washer and land behind the washer or dryer, and Mom is getting too old to
Crawl back there and fish them out.

3. Clothes Hung Up -
Clean clothes can be easily removed from the clothes bar by gently lifting
Up on the hanger and pulling towards you. The clean item can now be
Removed from the hanger for wearing. The wrong way to remove clean clothes
Is to YANK on one corner of the garment. This causes the hanger to go
Flying around the clothes bar, scratching the wall and becoming impossibly
Entangled with the neighboring hangers. Special note: This makes Mom want
To choke children. So far, she has been able to refrain from this action.

4. Dirty Clothes Rule -
If you have made the decision to put something in the dirty clothes, do
Not later decide that you, for some reason, now need to retrieve it by
Digging through the clothes baskets, leaving behind amess that looks like
A small tornado whipped through the laundry room, leaving a scene of
Devastation in its wake. Special note: The only thing worse than having to
Put stinking clothes in the laundry baskets is having to do it over and
Over and over.

5. Pockets -
Check your own pockets before you put dirty items (again,make sure they
Are dirty first) in the laundry room. Have you ever tried to pick tiny
Pieces of white paper off an entire load of dark clothes? No? I thought
Not! But the next time this occurs, you will have the pleasure of this
Experience. Special note: In the future, all money found in pockets
Becomes the property of the laundry-doer, and that most assuredly will be
Mom, who hopes to be able to save up for a Caribbean cruise, which she
Will go on alone. She has heard that you don't have to do laundry while
You are on a cruise!

6. Folded Clothes Rule -
When those clean clothes miraculously appear on your bed or chair,
Graciously thank the saintly person who lovingly placed them there and PUT
THEM AWAY! Special note: Failure to do this in the future will result in a
Generous contribution to the Goodwill.

7. General Dirty Clothes Rule -
If they aren't dirty, why the heck are they in the laundry room? Put them
Back in your closet or drawers. When you decide to try something on and
Decide that it will not make the fashion statement you were looking for
That particular day, think twice before you make that conscious decision
That it is easier to throw the item in the dirty clothes rather than
Hanging it back up. Again, the Goodwill would love to have these items, as
Their fashion standards must not be as high as yours.

8. Laundry Sharing -
In the future, each of you will be required to do one load of laundry a
Week. Instructions will be provided. Mom feels that the joy of this
Household chore should be shared, and she has been very selfish about this
In the past. She also feels that this is a necessary life skill, and
Without it, you may not ever want to leave home. This would not be in the
Best interest of your parents. Note - Rules may be added or modified at
Any time by Mom.

I, (sign your name) agree to abide by the above rules, as I actually have
No choice in the matter and do not wish to further anger my mother.
