Strange but true...

Mini miracle: I did laundry today (no, that's not the miracle) and, after transferring the clothes to the dryer, I saw a round black thing at the bottom of the washer tub. Thinking it was a button or something, I reached in and grabbed it.

It was a blueberry! Unsquashed! After a full load of laundry! Probably the cleanest berry ever known to man, and I threw it in the trash. Seriously - what kind of mutant blueberry makes it though an entire wash load without getting smooshed? Anyway, knowing how hard blueberry stains are to remove, I consider this my personal miracle for the day.

PS - anyone with children knows that it is futile to wonder how a blueberry got in the laundry in the first place. Remember, I am the mother of a child who required surgical removal of a pinto bean from their nostril after pretending to be an elephant.

I do not find it strange at all that you had a blueberry in the wash.....completely unharmed.....now that is strange!!!!!!
You are so lucky....I am still dealing with the Chapstick in the dryer incident.

I am so sorry about that. I feel your pain, having lost cherished items to the dreaded chapstick. WD-40 works wonders... seriously.
