That afternoon, the riverbank held an unusual sight.
A lone figure was splashing around in the water, and at first, I couldn’t tell if she was struggling, playing, or… washing clothes. My curiosity got the better of me, so I walked closer to investigate.
A blonde woman stood waist-deep in the river, her hands busy scrubbing something beneath the surface.
“Excuse me,” a man called out as he approached, “what exactly are you doing in the water?”
“I’m washing my clothes,” she answered matter-of-factly.
He frowned in confusion. “Why not just use a washing machine?”
She shook her head, smiling. “Tried that once… made me too dizzy.”
Takeaway
What seems odd or amusing to one person may be perfectly reasonable to another. Her story is a playful reminder that everyone experiences the world differently—and sometimes, a little humor is the best way to appreciate those differences.
