Eric’s Lucky Shirt

There is a shirt that has been with Eric through many of the most important events in his post-mission life.

The day he proposed to the love of his life who agreed to become his future wife,

engaged

The day his son Daniel was born,

and of course, the day he saved Daniel’s life from a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex.

I think everyone would agree that this is a very special and very lucky shirt.  Last night Daniel secretly decided to test the limits of this shirt’s luck by sneaking a neon yellow crayon in the dryer.  This action triggered the Great Laundry Disaster of 2011.  Only one article of clothing managed to escape the terrible staining caused by the melted yellow wax.  Can you guess which one it was?  Of course, it was none other than Eric’s lucky shirt. Does this shirt posses magical properties?  Who can say?  I for one believe that this shirt is destined for great things.

Incidentally, does anyone know how to remove melted crayon stains from clothing?
