My blue, very soft shoes

Everyone is always asking me what kinds of things it is that Aaron does that make me want to pull my hair out. I thought maybe I'd start blogging those things (not to "keep record of wrongs") but because I know some day in the future, I'll want to tell these stories and laugh.

Today, Aaron came in to the living room and said "I'm sorry, I accidently spilled blue stuff in your shoes." ??? Given that he's nearly naked (in his underwear), I'm guessing that he came from the laundry room, but what blue stuff? Last night, I purchased a small bottle of Clorox 2, but it was still in the bag. Following him to the laundry room, I discover that he has managed to dump about 1/2 a gallon of Ultra Downy liquid fabric softener into my blue canvas shoes and all over the floor. Not only are my shoes full, but there's this huge puddle of blue guck on the floor and this overwhelming fabric softener smell coming from the room. According to Aaron, he "didn't know the lid was off" when he managed to do this. I haven't quite figured out whether he knocked the bottle over when climbing on/off the washer or whether he actually dumped the bottle over on purpose.
