She wants to "help"

Well, for some reason, I dont know what clicked, maybe because I've been insanely busy and going plain bonkers with girl scout cookies, but mom decided this week she should "help" around the house.

So she's been taking laundry out of the dryer and folding it.  Ok, thats good.  I have to sort it, because she folds it all into one big stack and doesnt try to sort it, but its folded.

Then Friday I get home and see a stack of folded clothes, cool, I think. I had left a load in the dryer, and one in the washer that hadn't been washed.  I go to the washer - no clothes.  Um. My mom hasnt been able to turn on an appliance by herself in over a year.  So I check the dryer...no clothes.  Hmmmmm  I think.  Two appliances in one day?  Just doesn't seem right.

So I go to the stack - yup, as I suspected, she did fold the clean clothes from the dryer...however she also folded the DIRTY clothes out of the washer. And since it was two loads of darks, I have NO idea which clothes are which. I cant remember what I washed.  LOL

She was SO proud of helping, so I gently asked if she took the clothes from the washer too, and she said yes, they were dry, so I folded.  LOL God love her. But at this point I have to wash both loads, because I have NO ideas aside from a few pieces which was clean and which wasnt.

When I told the hubby - he said, well that explains why the shorts I got out of the stack were still dirty.  (he beat me home)

Too funny. Strange, but funny. To her, they were dry, so they should be folded.  I guess I need to be more careful about where I leave dirty clothes!
