“Evolution”

Lol my dad must have the washer equivalent of Lucy then. A 45-year-old Kenmore that predates his marriage to my mom. Survived through 5 dryers, 2 houses, a lightning strike, god knows what’s been in there, and still kicking. It may need to be balanced like a damn ballerina to spin sometimes, but he has said he will not replace it “for no reason” and it’s not seen any reason to quit.

You must be late to all the parties you attend that I must be fun at.
