So... hi.

[Because that was at least a way to speak right. But after taking a small breath she suddenly seems a lot more confident.]

I have like... a tiny bit of a question. Say there is someone who has never... really been able to do much on their own for one reason or another and they try something first the first time and it goes horribly wrong... How does one fix that?

[Krista here had been trying to attempt laundry and it's fairly obvious when there are so many bubbles behind her.]

Ah, yeah, it can be a bit tough. A lot of things you learn by trial and error. But I can give you some tips for some things, if you want?

[ With his parents often busy at work, he'd spent plenty of days home alone and helping out with chores around the house. ]

Okay, so trial and error... Got it.

[She didn't like that word because she liked to do it right the first time, but it is what it is.]

Do you know what problem I did this time though?

Yeah. I mean, I think there are books you can look at too for stuff? But sometimes you just gotta try and see what sticks. Not everything works out the same for everyone.

It kinda looks like you used too much detergent. How much did you put in?

Like a cup or something like that. I didn't actually know how much I needed so I figured a cup sounded right.

Like...a full cup? Did you use the cap for the detergent?

A full cup, yes. I didn't use the cap. I used an actual cup.

... That's way too much isn't it?

Yeah, a little bit. Some detergent caps have a line for how much detergent to use. Or some washing machines also have a line to fill when you're pouring in the detergent.

Maybe I should have checked those... I just thought that people make it so easy.

But it can be I just made it more complicated.

It can be kinda tough the first couple times. But once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad.

Just gotta keep trying until it's perfect. Then when I get it right, I'll reward myself with something. At least then I have another goal beyond clean clothes that don't shrink.
