It is late out and I’m doing diaper
laundry..which has got me to thinking... that most of the time you lose things
in the washing machine... like socks.... I even blogged about sock
physics once (Link)
the jist of which is my theory that - it has something to do with the speed at
which the socks move and centripetal motion created within the washing process
wherein the socks are directed orthogonal to the velocity of the spin cycle,
toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the dryer drum... resulting in
the abrupt disappearance of socks into another dimension.
But lately I’m noticing that
there are other things that happen in the wash.... sometimes you shred things,
and sometimes that Kleenex in your pocket turns into a nasty pilly mess that
takes months to fully get out of the hoodie pocket...
I HATE that feeling of shredded
washing machine Kleenex... and sometimes the pocket is forever ruined...
but sometimes you are lucky..
and the wash also causes things to miraculously appear....(these items I assume
come from another dimension - a place where they have a surplus of single socks
tumbling out of their dryers....) these
things that appear in my wash include things like screws, earplugs, or quarters...and
sometimes dollar bills.. if you are really lucky... lost hair clips and buttons
miraculously appear.
Other times you are
not so lucky.. and chap stick appears... or a little red craft feather comes
out with the whites....
Or maybe it’s a sign of
approaching insanity that I’m thinking and worrying about these things...
