Mommy Brain

When your 6-year-old son has an accident in his swimming trunks (because he is too busy having fun to bother with coming in to use the bathroom and “they were wet anyway, Mom!”), and you tell him to go downstairs and throw them in the washing machine (in which you have just started a load), make sure he knows which machine is the washing machine. If you don’t, there is a good chance that when you go downstairs to get the clean clothes out of the dryer, they will have an unpleasant smell and need to be washed all over again.
