Laundry Time

  • Kelly: You can't fold a shirt like that. That's not folding.
  • Duff: This is *my* shirt. I can fold it anyway I'd like... I'm wondering if I'm qualified to fold this wash cloth.
  • Kelly: You can fold that. You and Luke are at about the same level. You two can fold the wash cloths.
