Now I was being nice and let Butterflies borrow my portable washer/dryer You would think she would be happy, right? Well, now we are both wrong Its just a little old thing and can't take much of a load, warning to the buyer! Directions were inside so no hidden surprises but I guess that'd take too long Oh, she got her clothes in, that was no problem and they washed up a storm Then she started looking for the spin cycle because it moved pretty slow When all else fails, read the directions! Now here is where things get a bit warm No spin cycle to be found and she began to burn, she's whipping clothes as fast as they'd go She called JM and told her this sad tale, who laughed too hard to give advice Butterflies said she needed lessons on "stream and rock beating", poor baby Oh and the words from my kid came forth and the blue-air you could slice I guess she learned a lesson or two though traumatized, it's not as bad as it could be [This message has been edited by Mother_Earth (edited 04-11-2001).] |

Well, now, it took me awhile to catch on. I was feeling pretty sad for butterflies being caught up in a spin cycle...thought this was a metaphor for monarchs caught in a hurricane or tornado. I'm really glad, though sad for Butterflies, that it wasn't about butterflies. Now, ya got that straight? Did I say it clearly enough or does it have the wrong spin on it? |

OK, VAS, you got it right and it was the washing machine and not the other. Boy, I wish I had your mind to roam around in! Thanks |
