AII parents have to be extra careful when their children are at home, especially their babies. With so much time indoors, especially in the last 2 years, it’s very important that parents keep a close eye on their kids to prevent any accidents or dangerous situations. However, one dad got the surprise of his life and he screamed for help when he saw his baby’s face in the washing machine. The father, who wished to remain anonymous, shared his story on his social media account. He said that he was going about his daily laundry routine when he was left stunned.

When he looked into the washing machine, which was actively running at the time, he saw his baby’s smiley face staring back at him from inside. Terrified and fearing for the infant’s safety, he immediately took action. Fortunately, the baby was not really in the washer. Instead, mom had put a t-shirt into the machine that had the baby’s face printed on it. Dad breathed a sigh of relief when he realized his child wasn’t actually in there. Although it took him some time for his pounding heart to relax and return to normal.

While Dad was in the laundry room, he saw something that alarmed him and quickly took a picture to show people on Imgur. He wasn’t sure if they would believe him, but upon further inspection, it appears as though there is indeed a baby inside the washing machine. “Please, if you are ever washing your favorite shirt with a picture of your child on it, just put a warning note on the washer or something..” 

The picture has been extremely popular on the image-sharing website and currently has over 3,400 upvotes with dozens of comments from people all over. Parents and pet owners should be mindful that their children or animals are not in the washing machine or dryer before starting a load.
