Since accidents happen often in my household, doing the laundry a couple times a week is the norm. I like to help out with this chore. It’s my job to turn the washing dial, pour the soap, and add the clothes. Then I watch the water fill up, and when it’s ready to spin I have to close the lid and let the machine do its job. Sometimes I try really quickly to open it again and see all the clothes spinning, but the machine’s too fast and stops before I can see anything moving. Ah, nuts.
Helping with the laundry earns me a star on my star chart and I like that. The bigger the star, the better, in whatever colors, I’m trying to fill the entire piece of paper. Helping out is cool.
