Why I Do Laundry
I know a lot of guys who don’t do laundry- call me a wuss, but I like doing the laundry. Not sorting. I’m not a sorting clothes kind of guy, but I’m all over the washing and drying aspects of it… especially my wife’s jeans. No, I don’t have a fetish, but I love finding money. It’s usually a mixture of small bills with an occasional $20 that she stuck in her pocket and forgot about.
We don’t subscribe to more and more common “separate bank accounts� way of managing money, so it’s not like I’m stealing, but it’s fun to find money that didn’t previously exist (at least in my mind.) Since she discovered (crap) that I take the money that she left in her jeans and put it in my own pocket, I seriously think that sometimes she plants money in the laundry for me to find as an incentive to keep at it!
I didn’t check my kids pants when I did tonight’s load, so as I was pulling out the clothes from the dryer, mixed in with dryer sheets I was oh so lucky to find 14 Pokemon cards (without a doubt the most powerful and rare of them all,) two pencil erasers, and a very nice but slightly used pink school eraser. Not quite as good as what my wife bribes me with, but they’re learning…

Maybe I have my head in the sand, but, are sperate bank accounts becoming more common? Not that I go around asking my married friends, but, since money is the #1 reason for divorce, it would make sense to not have 2 accounts. Your wife is totaly playing you…..she knows exactly what she’s doing!! Your post gave me a good laugh this morning.
