Oh, I see you there, all wrinkled and pouting. This is your way of protesting, right? Because I left you lounging in the dryer a tad too long. You’re sulking because I had a million other things to tackle and you decided to crinkle up in response. Well, here’s the deal — you’ll have to deal with those wrinkles because if I can’t get you from the dryer to your drawer in a timely manner, there’s practically zero chance you’ll get ironed. So, in reality, you’re only making things worse for yourself.
And let’s be honest, that’s what those extra fluff cycles are for.
Let me get straight to the point: you’ve been driving me absolutely bonkers. You’re so needy, crying out to be washed and dried every single day. Newsflash — there are days when I can barely manage to wash and dry myself! But when you don’t get the attention you crave, you multiply like rabbits and start to smell so bad that even Febreze considers retreating back into the can. If you think you need to stink up the place to get noticed, think again — you don’t have to assault my nostrils to grab my attention.
How could I possibly miss you? You go from a couple of shirts and towels to a mountain of chaos in no time at all.
Yes, Laundry, I understand you keep my family clothed. That’s important, sure. But that doesn’t excuse your relentless attempts at taking over my life, or your cunning little psychological games. You know I’m eventually going to have to give in to your pressure, so you just keep pushing, spreading yourself across the floor, creeping into the hallway, and piling up on my couch. You tease me with mind games like, “Am I dirty? Should you wash me again? Better sniff me to find out!”
And if that wasn’t bad enough, you keep popping back up when I least expect it. Just when I think I’ve caught up and you might finally leave me alone for a moment, I close the bathroom door or peek under a bed, and there you are: a stray sock, some undies, or even a whole outfit I missed because apparently, it’s too hard for my family to use the hamper.
Now that I think about it, this has to be some sort of conspiracy. You’re probably working with the other chaos creators in my life — like the kids and the pets — plotting to keep me tied to your demanding schedule every single day. I can just hear you whispering to them, “Hey, kitty… why not throw up on me? That’ll ensure I get tossed in the wash!” And then you all share a laugh that only the conspirators can hear.
Let me make one thing clear: I may be at your mercy now, but one day—once the kids are grown—you won’t have the power to overwhelm me anymore. Remember that.
Sincerely,
Me
