Usted necesita comprar mas jabon!

This morning I did all of our laundry by hand and then hung the laundry up to dry. It was a lot of work. I have a newfound appreciation for washing machines and dryers (as our clothing is still all wet). I asked Molly (age 7) if she wanted to help me with all the washing. She was thrilled to help. I quickly realized my mistake when she dumped half of my large bottle of laundry soap into a small bin of water. By the time the clothes were all done, the entire bottle of laundry soap (which I had just purchased) was empty. Molly told me, "Usted necesita comprar mas jabon!" Or in other words, "You need to buy more soap!" I did my best to get all the soap out, but I'm pretty sure the clothes are all still full of soap. When we were washing the clothes, I asked Molly if she had ever helped her mom wash clothing. She said she had never helped before. No wonder! Nonetheless it was fun and funny to do laundry with Molly and I'll probably have her help me in the future... which means I will be going through a lot of soap. :) Below is a picture of the empty bottle of soap we went through today.
