Can't complain though, at least he was trying to help!

That's what mine said when he washed and dried my WOOLEN IRISH DOUBLE KNIT SWEATER (never worn before or after). Followed up by tossing the entire load of dresses that I was going to take to the dry cleaner into the washer.

I pointed out that his attempt at getting out of doing laundry was turning into a rather expensive leraning experinence.

He has since learned to read labels.
