Dear Universe
Dear Universe,
I know that I resolved to line dry my laundry this year; and I will…promise. In fact, I have been trolling the internet looking for the perfect clothesline. But did you have to pick this week, purported to be the rainiest since 2005, to break my dryer, causing it to emit a distributing burning smell? You do know I cloth diaper, don’t you? And as luck would have it, today really needs to be diaper wash and dry day as I have two diaper pails full of what can only be called “the smell of evil”. I would appreciate a quick fix on this one or alternatively a nice check in the mail to cover the purchase of a new dryer.
Your hapless pawn,
Gina

Do you want to come over and use ours?

I am not looking forward to the stink of evil.

Dear Gina,
I also used cloth diapers on you. Shortly after I found out I was pregnant with you, the washer that came with our house died. (It was 15 years old) I couldn’t believe it. I knew that I had to get a new one before you came, or I would be in LOTS of trouble. So, I went downtown, and bought one. It was on some kind of a payment plan, like $30 a month, which was a lot in those days, and we were on a very limited budget, but they delivered it, and it was wonderful. I was very cardful every month to make sure I budgeted that $30, and went down to the appliance store and paid it. Had it paid off in 1 year. I just remember how I felt buying that washer all on my own, (Dad was working), and signing my name to the agreement payment plan). It was the first time I ever did anything like that. My, how times have changed! I did hang your diapers outside in the summer to dry, on one of those round lines. Thanks for bringing back a fantastic memory! Love, Mom
