I honestly can’t understand how I hate doing laundry so much. “Doing laundry” in 2012 just means dropping things into machines that do all the work and it’s still overwhelming to me.
When I was little, I wanted to be Pocahontas when I grew up. Can you imagine if I got my wish? Can you imagine if I was a Native American in 1608? I can’t even shuffle a basket of laundry from one place to the other. You expect me to grind my own corn? Are you kidding? I don’t have that level of commitment for breakfast when I’m trying to get somewhere. I’ve eaten a piece of floppy bread in the car on the way to work that I didn’t even have time to toast more than once. Sandwich bread. White sandwich bread.
