I also have my Kindle, where most of my ebooks are, but there are too many distractions in the laundry room for that. I hate being interrupted when I read.
Oh, I hear ya'. And while I may not have had a thong taunt me from the pile like Darks has, I find it terribly distracting when the socks want to play hide-n-seek while I'm trying to finish a bit of fiction. And the whites won't stop pointing out how other peoples' whites are whiter and I'm neglecting them. Then there's my permanent press shirts that keep shouting, "I'm wrinkling!" ESPECIALLY if I forget the permanent press settings. (But they become real sissies if I actually pull out an iron.)
But the worst is the jeans when they start singing.
Fadin', fadin', fadin
How those jeans are fadin
Bluish colors grayin'
Oh, my!
Don't try to keep 'em newish
With colors all so bluish
They've got a whiter hueish
Oh, my!
The song's not so bad but their harmonizing's TERRIBLE..
