What's the difference between a waste basket and a laundry hamper?

There is no difference. Not if you a seven-year-old with autism. Yesterday I emptied the waste basket in the bathroom. In addition to trash, I found 3 pairs of pants, 1 shirt, a water bottle, and a half-dozen plastic farm animals. This morning I was taking stuff out of the hamper to do laundry. In addition to the dirty cloths I found 5 shoes, 1 drinking glass, 3 dirty diapers, 5 candy wrappers, and a partially eaten bagel. Apparently the seven-year-old has been very busy.
