"Because they won't let us do the laundry. They want us to do

the dishes, cook, clean the house, take care of the kids, hang the

washed clothes to dry – but to wash them ourselves - not that.

And why?"

"Why really?"

"Because they want us to be dependent on them. That's why

they claim we don't know how to sort through the clothes and

that because of us they get ruined in the wash. You tell me, is it

so complicated separating the white from the colored laundry?"

"What" I wondered, "You need to separate them?"

"They just want us to be dependent on them" Benny crushed the

pajama between his hands.

"Believe me, we're lucky they wash our clothes after we've

taken them off, and not hang them out to dry along with us".

I tried to imagine it. I started feeling sick.

"Sarit always tells me that if her laundry isn't good enough for

me, I should do it myself" Benny said, "but she won't agree to

explain to me how to work the machine's operating programs.

There are some fifty operating programs in our washing

machine, and believe me Sarit only knows how to use maybe

two of them, but she won't even agree to teach me this much.

When she'll come back and see all of the clothes here in the

living room she's going to kill me".

"So what's the problem, Benny?" I patted him on the back, "Go

to the machine and operate it as you think you should. What's

the worse that can happen?"

"What's the worse that can happen?!" Benny growled, "Do you

know what would happen if the clothes shrink, get dyed, or just

remain dirty? Do you have any idea how she'll react?"

"Who, the machine?"
