Good Housekeeping?

As you can see by Andy's face in the picture to the left, his orange sweater shrunk in the wash recently. When we got to London and unpacked our stuff that was shipped here, he noticed that this sweater had a stain on it. The tag said dry clean, but we both felt that was a bit excessive. I decided to wash it in our washing machine, we don't have a dryer, there's not a built in dryer, what could go wrong?? Well, look at Andy and his facial expression to see what went wrong.

Below, I am modeling the sweater as well. Unfortunately we are not all that different in size for you out there to really get a feel for how small the sweater now is. I'm sure this has happened to a lot of people - let me tell you, believe what the tag says! All I have to say is, I'm glad I got a job today, I'm not ready to be a housewife, having to walk Andy's clothes to the dry cleaner!!

How interesting. I did this once, too. I got an even smaller sweater as a result. Well, like daughter, like father.

And, yes, what job??

Also, I feel like the sweater now fits you perfectly...

thank you, sadly Andy just threw it in the garbage in the kitchen with food scraps, so it's not coming back out.
