And on that note, a little story about something that might have been said by a certain blogger’s mom when she was in Japan. Said blogger might have recently mentioned to the Facebook universe that she got a cool, new washer/dryer combo unit, with which one does not have to switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer because one machine does it all. Soon thereafter, however, said blogger may have experienced extreme dissatisfaction with said washer/dryer combo unit and exchanged it for a traditional stackable washer/dryer unit, pictured below. (Unnamed blogger did not bother to update the Facebook universe regarding her dissatisfaction.)

And back to what the unnamed blogger’s mother might have said (with genuine curiosity and confusion) upon seeing the above unit in person,

“How do the clothes get from the washer to the dryer?”

Unnamed blogger might have replied in jest (after composing herself from hysterical laughter),

“Oh! We have a laundry fairy that does that!”
