laundry day

... there's always a special excitement when you pick up your laundry and know all your clothes are clean ... tonight I went to pick up my laundry and the woman picked up my bag with a huge smile, gave it a big sniff and then offered me a chance to smell it as well.  I was expecting that clean clothes smell but no, somehow she made it smell like bubblegum, on purpose!  I just couldn't be rude in the face of what she obviously felt was a huge favor so now I have my laundry strung around the room hoping the smell will go away quickly.
