I Can't Believe It

My new washer has a glass lid. As we looked at them, the lower end modles had regular solid lids. I told Mike that I did not plan to stand there and watch the clothes wash so I did not care whether I had a glass lid or not. Mike installed the washer for me last night after he got home from work (as he was laughing at me - the other washer was not leaking THAT bad, so I had towels on the floor to channel the water to the floor drain and was continuing to do that mountain of laundry). He started the first load after he hooked it up, while I was hanging clothes on the line. He came outside to tell me that there would be a line in front of the washer for a little while. Silly me, I thought he meant some water line or something that he could not hook up right then, but NO........ he meant a line of critters watching the washer work through the glass lid. When I came in, the boys were in front of the washer and there was cat fur on the lid. Not only were the boys watching, but Pete had set Fiona on the lid to see too. As I was reading up on it, in the laundry room, the noise it was making changed, and both Mike and I looked inside to see what it was doing. Back to the manual, another new noise, we both look. OK, OK, we watched the clothes wash for a while. But as soon as the novilty wears off, I refuse to do that any more!!!
