My poor husband. He doesn’t ask for much. Really. Just love. Soap. Me to be happy. Clean underwear. I do not know why three of those tasks are sometimes impossible for me to accomplish.
I do the laundry.
I swear.
But, if there is just half of a load to do. Or three quarters of a load to do. Or ninety-ninth of a hundredth of a load to do, I will put it off. I mean I would not want to waste water on a not-full-load. I am not always irresponsible. Somehow all of my husband’s underwear ends up being in that ridiculously light load. Every time.
The other day, he decided to do a batch of just his underwear.
All of his underwear.
In one batch.
All. Of. It.
This would be a wonderful idea. It would even make sense… If he wasn’t married to me.
The sad part is he didn’t even complain about not having any clean underwear.
He didn’t say anything.
He just decided to wash them on his own.
And the sweet underwear got washed.
And the sweet underwear got dried.
And the sweet underwear got folded.
And the sweet underwear got put…
I can’t remember.
I put it somewhere safe.
I vaguely recall carrying it in my hands.
And then…
Nothing.
I’ve got nothin’.
I have looked all over the house. In every clothing drawer. In every drawer where clothes could hide. I cannot find them. He cannot find them. He is finally getting a little upset.
I have tried to tell him that maybe his underwear ran away to go make baby…dimes.
This did not help the situation.
Then I told him maybe Tinkerbell stole them.
Not. A. Hint. Of. A. Smile.
Today my day will be spent checking the freezer (where I once put our keys) , the baseboards (where I found my diamond earring), the pantry (where I found my glasses), the entertainment center where I found my… You get it. Well, unless you guessed brain. Then I would know you have not read my blog. I obviously left that one… Somewhere safe.
Actually, what I will really be doing today is going to the store and buying him some brand new underwear. Then I will come home and I will wash them. Dry them. Put them…
In his hands.
And be declared The. Best. Wife. Ever.
‘Cause that is what it is like being married to me.
He will feel so…lucky…
Until he finds his other underwear one day. Where I put it safely. In his briefcase. When he opens it at work.
Just kidding.
He doesn’t even have a brief case.
But I think that is definitely where those underwear went.
Definitely.
Funny! I can relate to that but in my house its socks. My husband has a thing about socks missing their partners and when he finds a new looking sock with no partner he is not happy.
Ha! Oh. Don’t get me started on socks. I am even worse with socks! : ). They never have a mate here. It is madness in this house! : )
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Jenni
Thanks for the morning funny. I can relate. We have Gremlins, & boy, they’re sneaky! XO
Thanks Jessica! I think it is gnomes around these parts. ; )
Have a great Wednesday!
Jenni
This made me laugh. I don’t do my husband’s laundry. I used to throw his stuff in with mine but he doesn’t like to put anything in the dryer, and after a few shrinking fiascos, he told me he’d do his own laundry. .
That is an excellent plan. Rubs hands together. : ). My husband does all of the ironing. I am scared an incompetent with the iron all at once. So it is a trade off.
Have a happy week!
Jenni
Ha ha! Loved this : )
bisous
Suzanne
Thanks Suzanne! : )
Sweet dreams!
Jenni
Too funny! Jenni – what on earth did you do with your husbands underwear?!!! Oh I know – the gnomes are back…
Thanks Cynthia. I wish I knew what happened to them. Unfortunately, this is a typical thing I do. I lose everything! Thankfully it usually turns up! But I did all of the laundry and put it all away and still nothin’. Those gnomes are so tricky! : )
Have a fun Wednesday!
Jenni
I laughed until I died. Then I had to reincarnate. What a pain!
Seriously though. This pretty much made my day! Gut-achingly hilarious!
Thanks Gwen. I don’t know that my husband thinks it is so funny. : ). But he has new underwear now so he is happy. Now, I just can’t lose these!
I hope you are having a super week!
Jenni
You can never have to many undies! :] // itsCarmen.com ☼
That’s right! I agree. I need to buy even more! : )
Have a lovely week!
Jenni
This one made me snort-laugh. 🙂
Hee. Hee. That made me so happy! : )
Have a joyful Wednesday!
Jenni
Yep, been there. I always seem to ruin something of my hubby’s in the wash. Most recently, it was a hooded sweatshirt my Mom got him for Christmas. I washed it with a bathroom run, which put these little white specks all over it. It also shrunk. Opps. I will have to try to fix it.
Oh no! I hope you can fix it! Or save it for your son! Shrinking something is always the worst. I have done that with things I loved before and it broke my heart. Why does laundry have to be so hard?! ; )
Have a cheerful Wednesday!
Jenni
oh my goodness! sooo funny! at least you washed them….wherever they are, they are clean!
Yes! I like the way you think! They are clean! So much better than dirty. So, wherever they are, they are good until we find them. Thanks for the silver lining!
Have a fabulous Wednesday!
Jenni
Funny! Maybe whoever took your undies…took my sons. I have noticed a very alarming lack of number of underwear in my oldest’s laundry as compared to my youngest…very alarming indeed. I will just pretend that they just disappeared and not just left unworn for an ungodly amount of time 😉
Ha! Okay. It is definitely a boy thing. And even if you say something it probably won’t be changed. Maybe you have gnomes in your house, too! ; ). I inew they were tricksters. But underwear?!
Have an easy restful evening!
Jenni
Hahahahaha, I loved this story! Did you ever find the underwear? It’s totally something I would do. Luckily my bf does his own laundry and our condo is so small there’s nowhere to hide anything like that.
Thank you.
We have not found the underwear! Bummer, because now we have to buy even more because we are heading on vacation this week and I want to make sure that we have extra!
Have a great week!
Jenni
Very funny Jenni. My husband does his own laundry mainly because we both work full time and I have a sick cat to take care off. I’m spinning many plates and his laundry isn’t one of them. So if anything of his disappears… “Not my fault” LOL
Thanks Ginette. I hope your kitty is feeling better. Giving medicine to a cat is so hard because they don’t understand what is going on. I truly hope he/she gets well.
Have a lovely evening!
Jenni
