False Accusation

There has been a false accusation at my house. For months the new dryer has been accused of eating a sock. This morning, as I was putting a load of laundry into the new front loading washing machine, I noticed something odd about the rim at the door opening. There was a strange coloration and texture under the edge of the rubber flange around the opening. I pushed the rubber aside and much to my surprise!!! found my sock plus some undies (blush) plus my DSH's stretch ankle support (used after an ankle injury) and a dish cloth! How it still functioned with all that in there is beyond me. So, an apology is due the dryer and a watchful eye must always be on the washer.
