one more thing for today

A scene. Earlyish evening. A laundry room. A woman pulls wet jeans out of the washer and tosses them into the dryer.

“Hey. What’s that kind of large, silvery, flat thing in the bottom of the tub?”

*beat*

“OH IT’S MY CELL PHONE THAT’S FUCKING AWESOME YES 100% GRAND!!!!!!!!!1”

    On the bright side, as least it was your phone and not someone else’s. I have done this once before, but it was while I was working as a caregiver, and the phone I washed was a client’s. So, that was pretty awesome. “Hi brand new employers, please don’t fire me, but can we replace this client’s phone since I am apparently not smart enough to check the pockets of Alzheimer’s patients before I wash their clothes?”
