The Incident of the Shrunken Sweater

So, at our house doing others laundry can be a risky thing, especially doing mine. I don't know about you, but I have several things that can't be dried in the dryer because of the material that they are made out of or because if they dry they will shrink and therefore not fit anymore. Lately I have been doing both Jesse and I's laundry (For some of you this may come as quite a shock, that I don't do my husbands laundry all the time. I grew up in a house where everyone did their own laundry. Also, on the way to our honeymoon Jesse offered to do my laundry, which was quite a shocker.) At the start of doing both of our laundry I asked Jesse if he had anything that couldn't be dried. He said no, that his things have been in the dryer. Come to find out that this was not true. This last week Jesse wore a sweater that he had never worn before, therefore it hadn't been dried. He didn't think anything of it. I didn't either. This was a mistake. Not only had the sweater not been dried in the dryer, it hadn't been washed. The travesty of it all was that the sweater was wool. If you know anything about wool, you know where I am going with this. Yes indeed, the sweater did shrink. It no longer fits Jesse. On the bright side however, the sweater fits me. At least someone will get use out of it:)
