About ten years ago, a colleague of mine
told me a story about his mom and how she wigged out one day doing
laundry. Apparently, Jerry was one of eight kids and his mother only
did laundry once or twice a week. (Personally, that would set me over
the brink of insanity. I've gotta keep it up daily so that I don't get
overwhelmed. I digress.)
So, Jerry said that he and his father were working on a vehicle in the
front yard. They heard the screen door slam and his mother came out
with her arms full of dirty laundry. She stormed over to the middle of the
yard and dropped it in the grass. Then she went back in the house and
repeated this process about three more times until the dirty clothes
were a small mountain up to her waist. Jerry and his father sort of
ignored the behavior and went back to tinkering under the hood of the
car. The last time the mother came out, she was in tears and striking
matches and tossing them into the pile of clothes, screaming, "I CAN'T
TAKE IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I hate laundry day. It never
ends!"
Jerry's dad had to grab hold of his wife and force the matches out
of her hands while Jerry stomped the laundry to make sure all the
flames were out.
I'm just saying. I can relate.

Yeah so can I!!! Sonia
ReplyDeleteOh yes I agree also, but how is it that the mountain reforms every day?!! Really, it seems like it should only be one load per day, even with a family of 5.
ReplyDeleteI fantasize about doing this!
