Throughout your life you should know what a chore wheel is. If you don't it's exactly what it sounds like a wheel of chores. Chores that are passed on from person to person to keep everything neat.

Laundry. Is the chore that I got. Austin got cleaning the bathroom which he won't end up doing. But laundry isn't that bad although I'd take dirty toilet over dirty underwear any day.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeeeee." Nova dragged out in a long train of a word in a high pitched voice as I realized I had to stop letting her watch TV as she took it upon herself to act like characters she saw. I looked at her with a serious face as she repeated,

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaa-" She continued again before I put my hand to her mouth making her stop abruptly as she stayed quiet.

"You can go.." her face got excited as her smile formed around my finger, "but you have to be quiet." I said as she still perked up at the news.

"Ok!" She said as I pulled my finger down from her round lips placing them to the side of me.

I started to grab the laundry bags, dragging them by the side of me. I stopped to see a bag floating in the air as Nova's eyes glowed, bringing the bag to her side.

I looked at her rolling my eyes and then laughing at the fact that my life had been like this as we grabbed our things and left.

I was grateful that the laundromat was less crowded as it usually was. There was women folding their clothes onto the metal tables as they demanded their little kids to stop playing which they only listen for a split second and then get back to playing with their siblings.

"Woooahhhh!" Nova exclaimed as a roach passed by my foot and the washing machines hummed in a distorted tone, thudding off beat.

"What?" I asked confused as I looked around to an elderly woman folding her oversized underwear trying to figure out what her amazement was about.

"It's amazing here!" She said as she looked at the machines in awe. She opened an empty machine and stuck her foot in as the people around us made strange faces.

I walked up besides her as I took her hand helping her out the machine before she could go any further, "is that not how it's done?" She asked as she fully stepped out the machine looking at it and then back at me as I laughed.

"No.." I replied, "it's supposed to wash clothes..but if u want I can put you in there." I said laughing as I opened the door acting like I was gonna make her go inside.

"Nooo! I don't wanna be washed!" She whines as I pretended like I was going to make her go inside before she started crying.

"Please.. I'm sorry! Don't make me go in there!" She said loudly as everyone gave me disgusted looks as her tears continued to fall down her cheeks.

"Nova.. I wasn't actually gonna make you go in there." I told her as she stopped crying and looked at me, her eyes still glossy and her cheeks still soaked in tears before she smiled and said, "oh!"

"So how do you wash the clothes?" She asked as I explained it to her step by step with no intention of letting her do it just in case it would get messed up.
