Laundry
Time
Liz hates (s) doing the
laundry. She realizes (iz) that four weeks
(s) have passed
since her last trip to the Laundromat. There are piles (z) of clothes
(s) in the closets
(z), the sheets
(s) and towels
(z) are dirty, she’s
(z) been wearing
the same pair of blue jeans (z) for nine days
(z), and she doesn’t
(z) have any clean
socks (s) or blouses
(iz) left. She thinks
(s) about it while
she watches (iz) one of her
favorite TV shows (z). She wishes
(iz) she didn’t have
to do such chores (s). Then she opens
(z) a book, turns
(s) the pages
(iz), and tries
(z) to study. The
phone rings (s): one of Liz’s
(iz) friends (s) reminds (z) her about
Sally’s (z) party tomorrow
evening. She decides (z) that it’s
(z) now or never.
She can’t go to the party unless she washes (iz)
one of her new dresses (iz). She stuffs
(s) all her clothes
(s) into two
laundry bags (s). She strips
(z) the bed and
pulls the pillowcases (iz) off the pillows
(z). She goes
(z) through the
apartment, picking up everything in sight. Finally, she grabs (s) some coat
hangers (s), two boxes
(iz) of detergent, and
her keys (z), and closes
(iz) the door behind
her. She hopes (s) she won’t be
too late. She arrives (z) at the
Laundromat, carries (z) in all her
belongings (s), and searches
(iz) for some empty
machines (s). But they’re
all either in use or out of order. She sighs (z),
picks (s) up everything,
and drives (z) to the local
video store to rent a couple of movies (z).
