The four year old little girl in a white dress leads me down the stairs into the basement and the dirty laundry. The little girl and the woman stand surrounded by mountains of dirty laundry and a ringer washing machine.
the adult insists she will not be doing this dirty laundry
the child insists she must look after all of this dirty laundry
just like her mom trained her to. She will sort out all of this immense pile of dirty laundry by color, of course, she will pull a chair over to the washing machine, she will stand on that chair and she will put all of this dirty laundry into this washing machine with bleach and any other cleaning agent strong enough and then she will pull all of this laundry through this ringer, even at the risk of getting her arms caught in the ringer. She will get this dirty laundry clean and she will do it right.
the adult and the child will stay together in the basement with the dirty laundry in disagreement, in distress, in shame, in agony.
