laundry

My laundry’s been piling up since I got here and for the last week I’ve been crafting a way to ask Amparo if I can use her washing machine that 1) makes sense and 2) is polite. Last night at dinner I finally found my courage.

“Por supuesto (of course) you can! Just put it in the machine when you’re finished eating.”

In the morning, before I could offer any help, Amparo took my clothes off the line and folded them at the kitchen table while I ate cookies.
