It became a regular occurrence—Lisa’s laundry flapping in the wind and Jake’s questions following suit. But when he started asking if he could hang his own clothes next to hers, I realized I needed to step in. So, I headed over to Lisa’s house, ready to have a friendly chat about finding a more discreet place for her laundry.
When Lisa answered the door, I politely explained the situation. She chuckled and said she didn’t see what the big deal was, suggesting I should “lighten up.” Though a little frustrated, I decided not to push the issue right then.
That evening, I had an idea—a lighthearted way to make my point. I sewed together the largest, most colorful pair of curtains from bright fabric, and hung them in front of my window. The next day, when Lisa returned home, she saw my creation and couldn’t help but laugh. It was a lighthearted gesture that got the message across.
After that, Lisa agreed to move her laundry to a less visible spot, and peace returned to our little corner of the neighborhood. As for me, I got a pair of bright, flamingo-themed curtains as a fun reminder of how humor helped resolve the great laundry dilemma.
