Ok.... A Funny On Wallace

Our landlord bought and installed a new washing machine today (our old one died). The machine is really nice and quiet with a door that opens on the side... but is a little different from our old one. I read through the little instruction booklet... popped some towels in (Yes, I do all the laundry) and started the load. Deedra and I went on working around the house and then got ready for an important meeting with the police officer in charge of alien registration. I had all the documents that we needed in hand as I went to check on the finished load of towels. I looked through the little side window (everything looked good) and opened the side door. It took me a split second to realize the washer was not finished. How did I realize this? It was full of water that spilled out onto my feet and flooded our kitchen! After Deedra stopped laughing, she came to my rescue with some clean (dry) towels and we started cleaning the floors.... ugh.... I guess sometimes you just have to learn things the hard way. But, hey, we've been laughing about it all day.
