Mum’s surprise when kids put crayons in the washing machine

... And the clothes come out looking like this.

Wow.

Never mix your darks and your whites.

Or your reds and your whites… Or your anything and your whites.

Sure look, don’t even mix your whites with your whites because something is just bound to go wrong.

That goes for mixing your white your crayons too.

Don’t do that. Just don’t.

… Unless you want your clothes to come out looking like this.

Yeah.

Not the cleanest of clothes but they do have a certain je ne sais quoi.

Mum Lauren Hampshire wasn’t all that impressed though when it happened to her… and we honestly do not blame her.

She took to Instagram to share her photo and to lament what had occurred after her kids decided to throw what looks like a couple of packs of Crayola in with the white wash.

Grim.

She wrote:

“Eh so this is what happens when a box of crayons ‘accidentally’ gets put in the tumble dryer with a white wash!!!!!”

Accidentally. Sure.

Lauren is a mum-of-two and founder of breastfeeding T-shirt company, The Milky Tee.

She went on to say that the washing machine actually seemed okay and the clothes appeared to “take the worst of it.”

“Amazingly it seems the clothes took the worst of it. I had to wash out the drum and put a high wash on with vanish in it but it seems to have worked. I’ve just put another wash on so fingers crossed!!”

We hope it went well, girl.

We really do.
