Lessons from Marriage: Women's Laundry

Marriage teaches a man many, many things. It demystifies some aspects of women that a single man would never fathom. Most of these lessons need to be learned fairly quickly if one is to survive.

In this episode of Lessons from Marriage: I'm complaining about women's laundry.

Bras are annoying.

I'm not talking about the typical movie/TV "this catch refuses to release" annoying. I'm talking about how a considerate husband can unknowingly throw too many in the dryer at the same time they can come out more tangled than a giant knot of spaghetti at an Italian buffet. Last night, I had one bra manage to tangle on itself. It bent the hook that clasps on to the other side.  Twas not my fault!

Women's laundry can also come with a lot of special rules. You was one thing, but don't dry it. Or perhaps you hand wash one thing, but you can dry it. Hot temperatures work for some; others will shrink into something that won't fit on a doll. The buttons are all on the wrong side, too!

Yes, a man can learn a lot in marriage.

Usually through trial and error.

Lots and lots of errors.
