216. Laundry Day (1)
It was noon on Friday. Friday was wash
, Kerry’s least favorite day. Doing the wash was
a pain. He had to gather together all
dirty clothes. He had to turn the shirts
slacks inside out to save wear and tear
the outside of the shirts and slacks. He
to empty all the junk out of all
pockets of his clothes.
Then he had to
quarters for each load of wash—four for the
and three for the dryer. It’d be so
to have a weekly maid, like his downstairs
. Kerry piled all his clothes into the laundry
and went downstairs. He was relieved to hear
as he approached the laundry room; no one
using the machines. He put laundry soap and
into the washer, and set it at Warm
and Regular Wash. A few minutes later, it
full of soapy water. He stuffed in half
the dirty clothes. This was going to be
two-load day.
He placed the half-full basket on
of the churning washer. He shut the laundry
door and walked back upstairs. He set his
timer to 35 minutes. When the washer was
, he’d reload it and put the first load
the dryer. He sat down and opened the
to the California section: "Truck Runs Over Crossing
," said the headline.
