A rousing game of Laundry

Last night I dreamed that we were playing a game with lots of kids. It was kind of like our giant Candyland game that we made at church for the fall festivial, only with a twist--it had to do with laundry. When the kids landed on a color, they had to wear something out of the laundry pile that was the same color. So if Rachel, for example, landed on red, she would wear a red shirt over all the other clothes she was already wearing.

In between turns, the children had to stack themselves in neat piles in drawers, folded like neat piles of shirts. It was a very orderly game, and the children did a great job of lying still like folded laundry. Some of them we put in closets.

After so long, we had to go to lunch, so we told the kids to wait there until we got back. After a half-hour, I told Shelly VanHorn that we really needed to get back because the children had been waiting for awhile. She told me that manager Matt would have to take over, because she needed to clock out, but that I should go back and get everyone lined up. I couldn't seem to make her understand that I didn't need to get everyone lined up--they were already lined up, folded in drawers.
