This episode is about something everyone has to do, or have done for them, and that is washing your clothes. It’s a dialogue between Mina and Arlo about using a washing machine. Let’s get started.
Mina: What happened here? Is the washing machine not working?
Arlo: What do you mean?
Mina: Why are all of your white T-shirts now pink?
Arlo: That just happens. Sometimes they turn pink, gray, or another color, depending on which clothes I put in a load.
Mina: Didn’t anyone teach you how to do laundry? You’re supposed to separate your whites from your colors and wash them separately.
Arlo: It doesn’t really matter.
