Parenting sure is tough.  There's the constant diaper-changing, the endless tantrums, the sleepless nights.  And, on top of that, you have to rescue you kid from a washing machine.

From the "what were they thinking" and "how dumb are you" department, these parents should be examined.

While at the laundromat, their little boy wants to look at the washer, so, they put him in one with the clothes.  They shut the door, and it starts.  They, of course, freak out when they can't get it open.   Watch this!

The good news is, he was okay, even after spinning for over a minute. He only had a few bumps and bruises. He was probably emotionally bruised for life, however.  Bet he never goes near a laundromat again.

Advice to the parents: If your child's clothes say machine wash...take them off of your child FIRST!
