Who in the World Would........




......put fabric softener on a trampoline?



My husband.

Okay, here's the background:
When he was single, he loved playing, adventure, fun, entertainment, entertaining, and things that use a lot of energy.

So that's why he bought a trampoline.

Said trampoline has been dormant, stored away, until a spark of memory, accompanied by adventure ignited in Dave's head. All it took was a thought, and now, we have a tramp in our back yard. He came home and set it up by himself, lickety split, with Lauren watching every move with intense curiosity.

When they were jumping, he noticed the static. It's normal right? It goes with the territory. Jumping on a tramp = staticky (sp?) hair. Especially in little girls. Most people are fine with a little static, and deal with it. Dave doesn't usually "deal" with most things. He likes to fix them or improve them.

That's where the fabric softener comes in.

It fixes static in clothes, right? (then I get a scientific explanation of the physics of static electricity and what fabric softener does to prevent it :)

I say, "You're hilarious. Static is eternal on trampolines. No way."

Dave is undaunted. The tramp was dusty from storage and needed to be sprayed off anyway. But not just with the hose - with a solution of kitchen cleaner, water, and of course, fabric softener.

Okay, I admit, it worked for about one day. Now the static is back. :D But he's not giving up ~ I was just informed that his next idea is leather conditioner. :)
