Give your washer and dryer to charity and when asked say "What washer and dryer?"
Instead of folding the clean clothes tie them together into a long knotted chain.
Return your daughter's laundry to your son and vice versa.
Sew a label onto the outside of each piece of clothing that says "Laundered with
love by Mom."
Misplace one sock in each pair and when asked shrug and mumble something
about the "sock monster."
Wash your son's whites and purples together in hot water ensuring a primarily
lavender wardrobe.
Charge by the load and wash each piece individually.
Tell the student that before accepting new laundry clients you'll need to see
a resume and transcript.
Move to a new house (or city) and "forget" to tell your student.
Send your student to ACU's Study Abroad!
