High Efficiency Washer Plus Four Scoops of Detergent…

So my son Zion is learning to do laundry. He's almost 9, and we let him wash the towels. I have a high efficiency front-loading washer, which only requires a small fraction of a scoop of laundry detergent.

We have a new puppy as well, and whoever feeds her knows that she gets 4 tablespoons of puppy food 3 times a day. (she's a VERY small dog) See where this is going?

So Zion decided to do a load of towels yesterday, and somehow he got the dog food requirements mixed up with the laundry detergent requirements. Yep, 4 giant scoops of laundry detergent went in with the towels. It only takes 1/4 of a scoop of detergent. Yep, OH MY! So Josh goes to check on whether the towels are ready to go into the dryer, only to find bubbles streaming out of the top of the washing machine where you load the soap and bleach and fabric softener. WOW! Then he gets the bright idea to OPEN the washing machine door. BIG mistake! Bubbles bubbles everywhere, it was like a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Oh, did I mention that ALL of the towels were in the washer?

CLEAN UP ON AISLE FIVE!!!
