Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, my child, an unwitting participant in this domestic debacle. You, who I have nurtured and guided, now find yourself confronted with a challenge of epic proportions. The laundry, my precious laundry, lies defeated, a victim of this cruel, unceasing rain and a tragically incapacitated machine. But know this: I expect solutions, not excuses. The dampness must be conquered, my garments resurrected to their former glory, and my peace of mind restored. Are you prepared to face this tempest, or will you crumble under the weight of a few soggy silks?

Linda, your bossy mother
