Dear Kids;
Please do not stand on the large bucket of laundry detergent. I know it’s really cool to look in on the magic swishy thing that cleans the clothes, but next time, use a stool. Maybe you didn’t realize that the laundry detergent bucket is one of the world’s modern miracles. Once it’s sealed back up again, it is nearly impossible to open. And your poor mom doesn’t have the strongest fingernails to start with.
So, if you ever want clean clothes again, please avoid standing on that bucket.
Love always,
Mom
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see if I can find a crowbar. Or maybe if I yell out ‘help’ those cute little fuzzy wonderpets will come and help me.  I can just see it now…’Wook! That mommy needs owr help! She can’t do her waundry because that bucket is stuck shut! What’s gonna work? TEAM work…” and then the guinea pig, the fuzzy duck and the turtle will help me get my laundry done.
Man I love those Wonderpets 🙂
Now, I’ve got that song in my head – “The phone. The phone is ringing!”
That was cute! I sympathize with the lid-on-the-bucket problem. I know I can’t get them off either.
