This is why I shouldn't do laundry. . . . So, I went downstairs to finish laundry, stepped on a TOAD that was in my BASEMENT, screamed bloody murder, found a cup to take the toad outside (still screaming "Eep! Eep! Eep!") .... and now I'm wondering if the poor toad is hurt because I stepped on him (also thinking "Ew.") ... and this is why I shouldn't do laundry.
oh my...stepping on a toad would freak me out as well. I personally love any reason for not doing laundry. That's why it is DD's job now.
Makes perfect sense to me. I don't do laundry because I hate it. Also I'm really bad at following through with it. My husband has always done it because he's OCD enough to be spectacular at it.
I tend to forget about the laundry too-- I'll start a load a think, "hey, I'm pretty good at this..." and then 6 hours later, I'm going to bed thinking, "CRAP, I forgot to switch the laundry!" And then everyone has wrinkled clothes and no one (read: my husband) is happy.
I'd rather step on a toad than a dead mouse (in my in-law's basement...yech) and then THIS. Maybe all this critters could be trained to do laundry...kind of like Cinderella's crowd of birds, mice, etc.
This (hands-down) has to be the most unique laundry excuse I have ever heard! You had me giggling! [*in a confidential whisper*] Psst. Laura and Kelly! That campaign to randomly surprise our forum participants with Froggy things? ...Well... Maybe we should rethink that one.
Haha, Heather, you have ME laughing out loud! I don't mind frogs in general.. just under my feet when I'm not expecting them?? Not cool
That's what I'm trying to figure out!! We live pretty close to some woods though, so that's probably where it came from... but still! EEP!
OMG that would have had me in hysterics! I am NOT a huge fan of toads ... mind you toads here mean nasty disgusting Cane Toads and they have poison glands so I really REALLY don't want to step on one of them! Grossssssssssss!
ewwww! I'm all for finding excuses to not to laundry! I don't mind gathering, washing and drying, but I loathe folding, hanging, and putting it away!!!!
Poor little toad.... I am not fond of doing laundry. I ruin many things since I don't separate colors from whites and everything goes in the dryer. Oh well - gives me an excuse to shop more.
EWWWW I am all for nature and finding salamandors, toads, etc....but NOT in my house!!!! I wouldn't be going in the basement again!! LOL It's a good think our laundry is on the main floor AND DH does it!!! YAY!!!
Guess it's just me. I don't mind toads (or frogs). I mean, I wouldn't take it on a date to Texas Roadhouse and then to try to feel it up at the 8 pm showing of 'The Hunger Games' or anything... but I'd be okay with picking it up in my hands *gasp* and taking it outside. Now a rodent on the other hand... shudder.
