"We've got to get some laundry done," I said to the kids.

Next thing I know, Paloma is dragging Carmen's hamper into my bathroom.

When I said we needed to do laundry, I should have been more specific. I meant we needed to fold clothes, and I was really talking to Carmen and Gabriel.

But I didn't want to put a damper on my most enthusiastic participant, so we went ahead and finished sorting the kids' laundry (all that was left to wash: like 3 days worth, maybe, since we'd sorted before).
