WOW! What a picture, Brad. Where did you find it? I am going to search the illustrator Monday morning. David's mommy takes down the line after each washday; oy the extra work. With the window open over the washer and everyone so lightly dressed, you know it's nice weather and she is going to hang the laundry outside. That's why she is not wearing heels like the Frigidaire lady. I wonder what that caged hot water coil is wrapped around? The washer does not look to be positioned correctly in relation to the stylish laundry tubs (with concealed drains) to allow easy wringing during rinsing. I don't know about this picture. The clothespin basket is full and the clothes line is in it, yet it looks like she is washing colors. Where are the whites you normally wash first? It does not look like they are on the line; maybe they're in the rinse tub, but the clothes she's loading are darker than the ones in the basket the kids are carrying to her. Can you imagine having a friend from school come over to help with the laundry? Only my one time best friend and I did that and we were uh atypical, yes, that's the word. David might have been also, especially with the way the picture makes it look like those tight shorts are cupping his chubby cheeks.
About that Frigidaire ad, I'm glad the mommy put on her sensible shoes to do laundry; with a dryer she can wear heels, but hers are not really high. If you look out the window, there are leaves on the trees so it must be only late spring to have the canning shelves still that full. I wonder if the clothes are too hot for the little girl's hands and that's why she appears to be throwing them.
