OK maybe there is not a laundry flinging event in the Olympics but if there was my son would take home the gold!I am not complaining, I appreciate not having to go outside when the temp is 101. The first time I saw the line after he hung laundry out I asked him if he knew it was to be put neatly on the line and that those wooden things in the basket were the pins that held the laundry on he line. His reply: "yeah I know, but when you fold it over like this you don't get pin marks. " "Anyways it dries either way." Wow, he was right. Regardless of how he gets it on the line it does get dry and we do not have to turn on the dryer.
Since that day I have not questioned his laundry flinging. I simply smile when he come in. One day he saw me looking outside at the laundry and he smiled and said "don't worry I'm a pro".
Lessons learned:
1. There is more than one way to do things
2. Not to expect everyone to do things my way
3. Everything does not have to be perfect
4. To be thankful for help
5. My son has a sense of humor
Funny how sometimes we can learn the greatest lessons from the smallest things.

As what other people say, "Don't sweat the small stuff." I have to remind myself that too coz sometimes, keepers of the home want things done perfectly. That's so sweet of your son to help you with the laundry hanging. It helps saves energy too!
Ouch! Good reminder. Sounds like something a certain son of mine would do too! ;)
Thanks for visiting my blog. So far I haven't seen any more of the caterpillars, but I am looking at the different recipes to try, as well as keeping an eye on the plants. Thanks for the info.
Have a great day!

It's funny... I have to remind myself of the same things in dealing with Hubby. Sometimes when he does things, I'll find myself saying it should be done another way. But in fact, there's usually more than one way for something to be done. And what he's doing is just fine.
Just stopping by from One Crazy Bride. Kids are awesome and they always have a different way to do things. That is cute.
