(note: The previous evening after I put Freya to bed, Matilda stayed up helped me fold the giant mountain of laundry on my bed while we watched House [I know, I know, it's, um, educational].)
INT. CAR - DAY.Who the hell wants MORE laundry? Not me! Please God, not me!
I'm driving, Steve's riding shotgun, the girls are in the back.
Matilda: Mom, can I stay up and help you fold laundry again?
Me: We did it all yesterday, we don't have any more laundry.
Matilda: PLEASE! I really want to fold more laundry!
Me: Oh, honey, I wish I had some more laundry for you to fold!
[Steve gives me a look that says, "who the fuck are you?"]
Me: What?
Steve: You wish you had more laundry?
Me: Well, no, but...
Steve: You know I live to make you happy, [shrug] if more laundry is what you want...
Me: Stop.
Steve: I'm sure I can work something out.
Me: You wanna walk home?
Steve: Would that make more laundry?
Me: Shut up.
