Part of that cleaning was putting away the winter clothes and I figured I would wash the boys boot liners before storing them. Toward the end of spring break, I pulled them out and discovered they were still wet so I tossed them in the washing machine ready to go when there was a full load.
The funny thing is that when I did that, the perpetual rotten smell moved into the laundry room. I gave up waiting for a full load and washed the liners. When I pulled this out of the washing machine:
Me: "Boys, can anyone explain to me why there was a carton of milk in your boot?"
Ben: (Is anyone surprised here?) "Oh yea! I was bringing that home from school and I thought I would carry it in my boot. I guess I forgot about it."
(Not direct quotes, just the gist of it)
What was I thinking? I mean it is completely logical to store an open container of milk in a boot. It should have been the first thing I checked when those boots came off at the start of vacation!
So parents learn from my superior wisdom. Check your kids shoes for food. Apparently, there is no end to the wonders you will find there.

Please please star to write a book. You have such a way off telling these simple day to day things. You should get royalties.
I found a book in the washing machine, although it was me who tossed it in there- all wrapped in a blanket.
Ben thanks for letting me know that is isn't just this family that has those things happen to them!
Hahahah!!
