I thought you all might get some amusement out of an email that I shared with my husband the other night.
Preface:
I walk into the laundry room and find Mia's beautiful yellow dress covered in bleach spots-- next to Jared's white shirt which he spilled something on the previous evening. I give him the benefit of the doubt and think, "he must have used the bleach pen on the white shirt and it got on her dress..." Still I get the nagging feeling...
So I email him. "What happened?" Here's his response:
yes, i slapped some bleach pen on there (had strawberry stains) when i did the same on my work shirt. probably shouldn't have. did it make a bleach spot? i thought bleach pens these days were ok for colors, but immediately after doing that thought i probably shouldn't have because Mia is very cute in that dress and i probably ruined it. that's the danger of daddy in the laundry room. Sorry. I've seen laundry soap with bleach that is safe for colors...haven't they invented color-safe bleach by now? Oh well. Hopefully Mia will forgive me.
Honey, honey, honey... I love the "did it make a bleach spot" part.

Good thing we caught that sweet yellow dress in photos. Now...in a way, you've still got it.
Darin doesn't do so well with the laundry either, but he tries. He takes them out of the drier when half of them are still damp, dries things he is not supposed to and he still doesn't know whose clothes are whose. So when I can't find Haden's pants they are sure to be in Hallie's drawer.
Now I need to see a picture of pre-ruined dress.
Yes, thank goodness we took pictures, Shonda.
I'll post some pics of the dress when I get a chance. Mia will forgive, as for me...
So typical! I love the email bit, I can just hear Jared saying all of that!
I like the "danger of daddy in the laundry room" part - it is a catch 22. Like the help, but can live without those "bleach spots."
This is a perfect example of what I like to call "once is all it takes" method of marriage. I had a friend recently get married and I gave him this advice..."Whenever your wife asks you to do something, mess the task up. I mean really screw things up and she'll never ask you to do it again." Way to stick to the code Jared. In reality we (men) are like MacGyver and can use that bleach stick in 72 different ways then what is listed on the directions! We got them fooled...yep, fooled
