The Laundry Elves Disappeared

So, I knew I'd fallen behind on laundry bit this week, but I didn't know how bad it was until Greg related the following story. He said he asked Ethan to pick up the dirty clothes and go put them away "on the pile" (i.e. the basket/hamper). Ethan looked around and said, "What pile?" and continued looking around. Greg said, "The pile" and Ethan nonchalantly replied, "Oh, you mean the MOUNTAIN?" Ummmm, yea......in all fairness it probably was about as tall as he was. Guess I know what I'll be doing today.
