Something truly unexplainable happens regarding laundry when you have a child. Although he/she might just be a baby, you feel the need (especially if you’re a first-time parent) to arm your child with a wardrobe that puts most Hollywood actresses to shame. And then, while you’re sleeping, all the onsies and cute little outfits escape their drawers to mate and reproduce in the night. After all, that’s the only feasible explanation for the maddening phenomenon that occurs when you do four loads of laundry only to look at the hamper less than 24 hours later and see four more loads of dirty clothes waiting for you.
