Re: Dolly

I had a human client who hid her diaper in her pants, then I picked up the pants and washed them. The diaper exploded, and I'm sure her grandson had to have the plumbing and the washer dumped out when he inherited the house. She didn't live but a few weeks after that, but the plumbing wasn't right f...
