Wife: OK, I’ll do a load of whites after dinner.
Husband: Thanks, the collar really needs that ring around the collar bleached or something.
Wife: I will put some Shout on it. Like the commercial says, shout it out.
Husband: Thanks, honey. You take such good care of me.

11. Loading the laundry Mom- Someone did a good job sorting this laundry.
Lisa: That would be me.
Mom – Let’s get the first load going. How do you want the settings?
Lisa: Let’s see. Whites need hot water, one measuring spoon of detergent, and bleach.
Mom: Don’t forget to treat those stains first.
Lisa: Almost forgot. Where is that stain remover?
Mom – On the counter. Spray it directly onto the stain and rub. I always pour the detergent right on it and then place that garment into the washer. Every little bit helps.
Dad – Thanks, girls.

12. Oh, no! Husband: How did my white shirt get pink? Mom: Oh no!
Husband: Something red must have been in the washer.
Wife: Yes, here it is, a new hand towel.
I will wash and bleach that shirt again immediately. So sorry. Don’t worry. I will add softener. That might help get that color out.
Husband: I know you’ll fix it.

13. Drying Clothes Wife – Your white shirt is white again!
Husband – Thanks, sugar (darlin’,
sweetie pie). That’s my girl.
Wife: I’ll place it in the dryer now with a dryer sheet. One thing for sure, the ring around the collar is gone. I’ll set the buzzer so I can take it out of the dryer immediately. It won’t wrinkle that way.
Husband – You are going to starch and iron it for me, aren’t you?
Wife – If that’s what you want, that’s what I’ll do. Tomorrow must be an important day.
Husband – Yes, it is. I want to wear my lucky shirt.

14. Hanging Clothes Outside
Wife: It’s such a beautiful day, I think I’ll hang the clothes outside to dry.
Husband: Do we have a clothes line?
Wife: Yes, but I’ll have to have help hanging it. Do you mind?
Husband: Mind? Let’s put that clothes line up.
Wife: The clothes just smell so much cleaner after hanging in the fresh air.

15. That shirt needs ironing
Husband: Honey, my shirt needs ironing.
Wife: I need to set up the ironing board and plug in the iron.
Husband: Can you starch it?
Wife: Sure. I have a can of spray starch.
Husband: Thanks. That shirt looks like a professional did it. It is as stiff as a board.
Wife: Here, let me hang it on a hanger for you. It will be perfect for tomorrow.
Husband: It looks and smells good.
