Ball meet washing machine...

We have a ball loving toddler. He loves balls, all balls. Doesn't matter the size or shape. He is a little more partial to regulation sized basket balls and soccer balls but will happily take a tennis ball or football. It really doesn't matter.

Balls make this guy happy. Very happy. He kicks them or throws them. Puts them here or there and everywhere.
For instance yesterday when Chris and I were trying to get stuff done down in the basement and Ben was happily transferring all the balls from the toy box to the washing machine. He was having a grand time and it was keeping him busy. Perfect right.

Yep, perfect until one of the balls is left in the wash and no one notices said ball when throwing laundry into the washing machine. So that there basket ball comes out looking a little sad.

Not a big deal right, basket balls are hardy and can withstand a beating and some burn marks?

Unfortunately the washer couldn't handle the basket ball and the glass door COMPLETELY SHATTERED!

DESTROYED! Glass EVERY WHERE! Inside and out. Mixed in with clothes, uniforms, and a table cloth.

So.... Learn from us, balls are fun for little toddling boys but are not good for your washing machine!
