guess how much this penny is worth...

... too much!!

This penny that is sitting in this dirty water came out of the back of my washing machine. It was clogging up the drain hose and had already made it's way through the pump destroying it in the process. You guessed it...because of this penny we had to buy a new washing machine.

The picture doesn't do justice to just how chewed up this penny became after going through the washing machines pump. I should have taken another but I'm feeling to lazy right now.

So from now on I will do a better job of checking for any loose change, any pens, and any polly pocket pieces that might do damage to my laundry or my machine.

The good news....I got a really great new machine!
