Those extra quarters may have been just enough to get him a bite of food, or enough to restore his faith in humanity!! <3 <br /><br />I hate laundry, but I LOVE laundromats!! :) Our washer crapped out last year and I went twice in 2 weeks. I was thrilled! A week's worth of laundry for a family of 4 all done in less than 2 hours! *heaven* The first time, a young dad with his toddler befriended us. I was annoyed. I just wanted to eat my muffin in peace and do my laundry. Instead it took twice as long, because I couldn't chew and talk at the same time. He was like a waitress/waiter that waits until you shove your mouth full and then comes to ask how everything is! Then, when my washer/dryer stopped, I felt rude just getting up and walking over. He wouldn't stop talking to me. :/ The second time I went, was the night they caught the second Boston Marathon bomber. The TV's were on CNN and I was glued to them. That time, there was a mom in there with her young, rowdy kids. She hurried through loading washers and I thought she was anxious to get them out of there. Instead, she sat down and read a magazine while they ran around the place, racing those rolling baskets and leaping off everything they could climb on to. I guess instead of being in a hurry to leave, she was in a hurry to sit down and have a break? ;) Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012980818415078689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875195811184851268.post-61299983282850906672014-05-04T17:34:41.149-05:002014-05-04T17:34:41.149-05:00You amaze me.
