It gives me nostalgia for when I used to get into the family dryer as a toddler and manually rotate the drum with me inside it. I had to make sure the door didn’t shut because there was no way to open it from the inside. I fell asleep in there once. My younger brother thought it was hilarious to shut the door on me.

Mom was Not Pleased and started locking that bathroom/laundry room combo until I was too big to fit.

Looking back, I understand her anxiety. She was probably also annoyed that I tossed all the dry laundry onto the floor. But in my toddler defense it was really nice vestibular simulation. I wonder if I could recreate the experience as an adult.

Anyways, driers are attractive to children and pets for all sorts of reasons. It’s really dangerous for them, so double check that there’s not a critter in the dryer.
