Sounds like a well executed plan!
“New phone this week!😊”
This was her last Snapchat post with the pool as the background. Just help get it quickly so we don’t break our streak!

She's a clever girl, so this would even be likely. That's how you become a super villain some time later

Been there, done that. Happened to my boy on a newish smart phone that was being purchased through contract at the time. He had to suffer going back to the old 2G phone he was using for the next 9 months, until we got him a new one.

As long as the lump does not turn out to be the cat...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Note to Griff, Be Sure Coffee has started working before working on anything.
As for herself or anyone else leaving things in pockets. Many years ago instituted a finders keepers policy on laundry in our household. IT has worked wonders. For a few years though I almost financed a few vacations off found money. Eventually it sinks in though.

Yesterday the wife asked me to call her phone as she could not find it, called but could not hear the ringtone, silly so and so had it on silent so we spend the next 20 minutes checking every flat surface where it could be, nothing. Just as it starts raining (we live on a acreage in tropical Queensland and it is the rainy season) I wander down the back and there it is sitting on a pot plant - and the skies opened up. It survived but must have been a close thing.

What were you thinking?
Got out of bed - that was your first mistake!
Secondly the secret to a happy life is delegation. Domestic chores not involving tools should be delegated to Herself. (a) She's probably cleverer and more astute than you (women often are, in a quiet way) and thus not likely to launder your phone (not even by accident), and (b) if she does perchance make that mistake you at least have someone else to blame.

Back in the day I had a not-smart phone that I put through the washer and dryer twice. The first time through lost me all sound, so I had to keep the phone in my pocket to feel it ring. The second time through returned the sound with no additional damage.
They don't make things like they used to, but I sure do prefer my Galaxy to that old thing

This why "routine" is so important. When my kids were little, it was hard to follow a routine and thus this sort of thing happened all the time.

I managed to wash my Bluetooth headphones a while ago... They stopped working just long enough for me to order a replacement pair from Amazon... And have been fine ever since...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

How else do you expect to launder the BitCoin in your phone?

Never washed my phone but I have washed a number of USB keys over the years. They all worked after the washing and drying.

You know - that message started out by reminding me of the lyrics of a Beatles song.
"Woke up.
Got out of bed.
Dragged a comb across my head.
Made my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late.
Grabbed my coat, grabbed my had, made the bus in seconds flat."
Not sure how it relates to drowned phones though.

The one representing eternal truth is of course the one that states "There are lies. Then there are damn lies. And then comes statistics."
For my writing, I love his advice: Whenever you write 'very', replace it with 'damn'. Before publishing, your editor will cross our every single instance, making it the way it ought to be.
I have got a list of words, 'very' is one of them, that I search through my texts for before publication. I have done this 'filtering' for many many years. I am ashamed how often such null-words still creep into my writing.
