I think that it is a conspiracy between those two appliances!! The refrigerator gets you to eat more while the washing machine shrinks your clothes!! It’s known as a twofer!!
When you think about it The Internet of Things could coordinate your scale, mirrors, refrigerator, location with your phone and lock you out of food. Not allow phone purchase of burgers unless you walk to McDs.
If a shirt or sweater shrinks both in length and in girth, it’s probably too high a temp setting on the dryer. If it shrinks only in girth – well, it’s not the dryer.
Score points for her on that statement. However, the pantry that stores the cookies, chips and goodies also deserve some of the blame for tight fitting clothes….
Wife wants a 28 cubic refrig – huge monster of a thing. I cant find anything in our 20 cubic now. Gonna stick the 20 in the bedroom. Maybe I can I find a cold coke and snacks.

The appliances compromise. Both break down at the same time.

That and every other refrigerator within driving distance

That’s what the dryer wants you to think.

unless it’s empty then you might want to blame the hand to mouth syndrome. :D

It’s true. Things shrink! I put on my old watch yesterday and it barely fit around my wrist!

My Dad used to say there is one exercise that will fix that. It’s called a push back. Push yourself back from the dinner table.

The two of you might consider keeping pork off your fork.

Brutus, your scales might be like mine. They tend to register a little higher.

Due to following a strict diet very carefully, I am still able to wear the same size socks I wore in High School.

Brutus, get bigger shirts and you won’t have to diet. Just don’t tell Ms. Know-it-all…

I can’t really blame anything mechanical for clothes shrinkage, I suspect it’s the bartender.

She isn’t the one complaining about her clothes not fitting.

I can’t keep ice cream in the freezer. There’s nothing wrong with the freezer but the ice cream calls to me.

The shirt didn’t shrink. Brutus expanded.

He shrunk the refrigerator by eating all the food which is why his shirt don’t fit
