Mr. Wu No Longer Has A Laundry

Here’s a story that you can tell your kids, and maybe they would tell it to their kids if they ever called once in a while…you know how I worry…

While UglyDoll was resting in my Tambler bed for the past two weeks, he wondered how I’m getting along with doing the laundry, an activity in which he doubts my overall ability…
That Eric...what a bum!

“Well,” said Eric, “I’ll show him.  And I’ll show the world, too!  Soon, they’ll ALL know how to do my laundry, so that maybe I’ll have more time to do this Dr. John World Café transcription!”

And so this brings us to more Home Tips from Brother Boca!…Today, we’ll learn how to do my laundry!…you may want to take notes…

Step One: Holy Crap, some of my laundry is already in the washer!…

Holy Crap!

…we can’t stuff more clothes in and hope that they will get clean by association, so into the dryer they go!

Alright, now because we follow instructions written inside of dryers, we gots to clean off the lint screen…

Yeah, not the most delightful invention, that lint screen…but what can I say?…at least it’s not like some sort of meat screen…with that out o the way, toss in a dryer sheet (of course we all know that the point of the dryer sheet is to ball up inside of your jeans only to be found a week later when you actually put them on)…

Set the thang, and we’re ready to move back to the washer for a new load (heh heh…load)

Now, before you do anything else, make sure that the inside of the washer looks something like this:

Now, I know what you’re going to say, so I’ll have you know that all of my black clothes are in the dryer right now…after all, mixing my black jeans with my unsuspecting socks and underpans would just be absolutely ridiculous…Next, you’ll want to make sure that the little detergent reservoir is filled up to the “MAX” line with kittens…I mean detergent…just making sure you’re still paying attention…

After doing my laundry a few times, you’ll get the hang of how much to pour in, but until then, remember that the “MAX” line is more like a guideline than an actual rule…anyway, set the thang (different thang than on the dryer)…

Then prepare for battle!

Heh, no, not really…after you do my laundry, you may want to check on Maggie and make sure she’s still a cat…

Yep, still a cat.  Cheers!

‘Cos it helps with the elocution
