The next morning, Dad woke up early and started washing the diapers himself. Unfortunately, he had no idea how much work was involved. He used too much detergent, forgot to separate the heavily soiled ones, and nearly flooded the laundry area. Mom watched from the doorway, trying not to laugh. For once, someone else was experiencing the exhausting routine she had handled alone for so long.
When he finally finished, Dad admitted that he had underestimated the work. Mom smiled slightly and told him that one morning wasn’t going to make up for years of doing everything herself. Then she handed him another basket. His expression changed immediately.
