Laundry

Dear Children,
     Contrary to popular belief, leaving your clothing on your bedroom floor does not somehow, magically result in clean clothing.   The floor of your bedroom is not some miraculous, flat, carpeted washer/dryer combo.  I realize that the confusion may lie in the fact that you never put your clean clothing away, so it inevitably ends up on the floor mingling with the dirty clothing.  What's dirty? What's clean?  Does rubbing the dirty clothes against the clean ones result in cleaner dirty clothes? What are the transitive properties of laundry?  I, too, have contributed to this confusion since I have, on occasion, ventured into your room to collect dirty laundry, which once clean, I have placed with your other clean clothing for you to put away.    
     There is, however, a magical floor in the bathroom that will result in clean clothing - it is at the bottom of the laundry chute!  This remarkable place exists a mere 5 feet from your bedroom doors!  Kick your clothing that extra distance and you'll be amazed!
