When I was in second grade, my social studies teacher, Mrs. Luellen, had us read an article about how in the year 2010 we would all have robot maids cleaning our houses and doing our chores. I think the author had been overly inspired by the Jetsons because 2010 has come and gone and I am still doing my own laundry.
The point at which you have too many clothes or too many people in the family is the point at which it takes a whole two day to do the laundry. Of course it didn't help that Matthew likes crawling into the baskets of folded clothes to toss over shirts and pants, and it doesn't help that Daniel likes to dance on the piles either.
Daniel spent an entire hour taking all of his clothes from a pile, putting it into a basket, putting them into the dryer, and taking them back out again. He and Matthew stood at the dryer banging on the door and flipping the light off and on. Too bad I can't redirect this energy into helping me sort and fold! Then I would have something even better than a Rosie... squeezable, funny robot boys!
We are having massive laundry day today at our house. Also if you find Rosie, please send her over to our house.
ReplyDeleteCute take on the assignment! It's quite funny NOW to think about what people thought 2010 would be like. I mean the year really does sound so futuristic!
ReplyDeleteMy couch looks like that too! I am relieved. Plus I will always choose play over laundry if I have a chance.
ReplyDeleteLove it -- where is my Rosie, as well? Seriously. My kiddo goes into the Guest Bedroom, you know, where the clean laundry is on the guest bed in piles sorted by who it belongs to? And she jumps into it. She enjoys it, so I try not to get too upset. Or I'd lose my mind. Ah, Rosie. You're a dream not yet found.
ReplyDeleteI always have at least two loads of laundry in limbo. I think the only reason it ever gets done at all is because I have to wash diapers.
