You don’t need to tell me this is a true story, I just know it is 😂

True story.
One of George W. Bush’s friends was telling a story about the future President. He was a recent college graduate and came to her house with a load of laundry, because he couldn’t figure out how to clean his own stuff.

I’m embarrassed to admit that this was me.
My mom had a thing about washing clothes - how they were washed, how they were dried (usually hung up to dry, often over random doorways around the house, never in the dryer) and starching and ironing. And sometimes the socks and underwear would be hung up, too. So if people came over we’d have to hurry up and put all that shit away first. (We didn’t have a dedicated laundry room)
When we went places she would critique other people’s clothes and note if they hadn’t been pressed correctly or something, “they didn’t even use starch on that shirt”, but also she also never showed me how to do it because she was so particular.
So I was already an adult the first time I used a washing machine and I still feel victorious every time I throw all that shit in the dryer.

That’s a good story. My family moved into a big apartment complex when I was in 6th Grade. There was a big laundry room in the basement and somehow I became the Laundry Czar of my family. First good paying job I got I started having it done for me.

Don’t blame you at all for doing that - it’s worth it just to be sorted/folded/hung.
