It all comes out in the wash

This is what a watermelon flavored sucker looks like after it has been washed and dried with a load of whites. I know it was watermelon flavored because as I was posting these pics, the former owner of this sucker came by and said, "Oh, I was looking for that sucker. It was watermelon flavor." D'oh! We now have a large basket of slightly fruity smelling socks and undershirts.
This is a typical representation of the types of things I find in the bottom of the washer and dryer. Coins, nerf darts, guitar picks, legos, pocket knives, the unfortunate crayon or piece of candy, etc. In my old washing machine, I once found a whole cherry tomato, completely intact and probably perfectly edible, that a child put in his pocket while he was out in the garden and then promptly forgot about.
My children seem to be magnets for random objects. This is Joe's school cubby, which is supposed to contain only mother-approved school materials, which has so much other junk stuffed between the books that he can't pull anything out without causing an avalanche of miscellaneous stuff. If you need any nerf darts, or a joker for your deck of cards, or a rifle for a lego action figure, just look behind Joe's math books.
