It was fluffy before I put it in the washing machine!

You should never wash a toupée - and that Afro hairstyle never suited you anyway and carrying that basketball...well!!

You didn't wash the cat again did you?

Poor kitty cat!

"it" ... ?
cashmere sweater?
prophylactic sheath made of sheepskin?
gauze dress-shirt?

Well don't put it in the dryer or it'll never be fluffy again.
