Yes. I so decree it.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

ita,
man, I would love to get some $$ for those shoes! They really helped me when I was wearing them too. I should put them back on.

I paid for a Michael Bublé concert ticket for Mother's Day but did not volunteer to attend said concert with my mom (my aunt, sister, and sister-in-law are going, okay), which maybe makes me a horrible daughter, but I guess I can live with that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But flowers left on the front porch by UPS and then destroyed in a storm are still proof of my love, right?
Yes, definitely.
And you are an excellent daughter, shrift! Giving up your seat for someone who really wanted to go!

Ha. Look over there, look back at me, tickets to that thing you like!

Our wings are not tired.
Excellent daughters, Steph & shrift.
I don't remember what age the boys were as it was a height of laundry equipment decision. And they were tall! But stinky boy clothes was a major deciding factor.
Our climate does not allow for wearing clothes multiple times. MIL changes at least the pillow slips, and usually the sheets daily. When she was in the hospital I brought her a package of fancy pillow slips and she was delighted. Likely the only time I got a gift right for her!

shrift's on a horse!
I'm going to put my finger shoes on and go running RIGHT NOW.
It occurs to me that another reason I have bunches of laundry for a single person is that I am super prone to spilling things on myself (including but not limited to soup, salad dressing, and coffee) and therefore cannot wear most things more than once without laundering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't do laundry until university, and to date have maybe ruined 4 things.
Fuck, I didn't even see my first washing machine until, what, 12?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was helping out with the laundry by 8 and doing my own by 10.

sounds like she is one of us, really.
