W: Yes. You're 16 now. I was doing laundry when I was half your age. Your sister has been doing it since she was 10. So, it's your turn to learn.

M: Fine. It's just that there are so many buttons and settings..

W: It's easy once you know how to do it. This is the "load" setting. Choose small, medium, or large based on how many clothes you're washing. I'm sure you can figure that out for yourself.

M: I can do that.

W: Good. Next, you choose the temperature. Cold, warm, or hot. Just use cold for now, and I'll deal with anything that needs to be washed in warmer temperatures.

M: And the spin cycle?

W: That is for how fast the machine turns. "Normal" is what you will be using for most of your clothes. Heavy" is for your jeans and towels. "Light" is for your sheets and pillow cases, but I'll do those for you.

M: You know what, Mom? Washing clothes is actually pretty easy.

W: Everything is, once you know how to do it.
