Laundry Done Right!

On every Friday after work, I drive my shirts to my mom’s house so that she can clean and properly iron them … she insists on doing this. My mom has always tried to go the extra mile for her kids. As an example, I probably only mowed my lawn about 5 or 6 times this past year … not because I’m lazy, but because my mom beats me to the punch. Heck, she’s already raked my leaves a few times, and is ready to come back for more.

But I digress. Back to the shirts. So, I bring these shirts to my mom’s house on Friday. Then, get this, she gives me $20 … EVERY WEEK! I tell her there is no need for her to do this …. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the extra cash, but still. This is probably why my mom never got into the laundry or dry cleaning business. I mean, she’d have great clientele, but she’d lose money faster than Leonard Tose in Atlantic City.

Plus, Inga (my mom’s name) continually gives me chocolate when she hand-delivers the shirts on Sunday … yes, folks, the delivery is free-of-charge, as well. This week, it was Snickers, last week, it was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I’m hoping for Butterfinger next week.

I'll give your mom some chocolate every week if she irons and cleans my shirts too.

Rev - She GIVES chocolate ... she doesn't receive choco ... wait, that doesn't sound good.

Jeff - Only when I ask nicely ...

Ink - She insists upon doing this. I have no other choice.

Superstar - I don't think she is keen on crossing state lines ...

Minijonb - Relocating to Philly isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, but it might be worth it.

TP - Amen, brotha!

Lisa - I bet if you asked her, she would ...
