backwards downstairs even but seriously they are fun really i was in the laundromat the other day and watched a cute little cluck slaving over a washing machine pulling out the clothes which were very heavy she had three loads to disengage of the burdensome things and after each machine she became slightly leu beguiling than before she had on a heavy winter jacket and the laundromat manager had been considerate enough to leave the heat turned up to 73 degrees and to by number three machine load i was astounded to see this glamorous little morsel of femininity gel quite furious and just push her whole scalp right back on the top of her head it dropped on the floor with great gusto and she grabbed at her cranium and looking at her amazed audience screeched well what are you looking at it was getting so doggoned itchy and with that she began scratching furiously at this point everyone was trying to pretend they werent there feeling somewhat at if they had walked into the high school pool room only to find that it was the boys turn to be there nobody likes to tee anyone caught barefoot but this very cute girl suddenly giggled and laughed at the utter calamity of the situation then we could all laugh and everyone tried to pick up the tad looking wig which didnt look so glamorous anymore someone placed it on top of a machine and once again were all just a gang of monday morning females doing the weekly wash bit all looking like everyday housewives and honestly mr wig solicitor nt better that way because there it a place for everything river to rockwood village proper she
