A local Mum has found herself in a washing basket-induced state of delirium, after struggling to identify the owner of a new piece of family attire.
With everyone home, Sandra Kelly (52), had a bit of house admin to do, soundtracked by her favourite spray and wipe album, Tracey Chapman’s 1989 classic ‘Crossroads’.
However, upon hanging the faded fabrics of a vintage Harley Davidson shirt onto the clothesline, Kelly admitted to The Advocate that she didn’t know who in the family it belonged to.
“Who’s is this…” she whispered to herself, taking a sniff of the armpits to identify a culprit.
“I know my husband Warren used to wear these back in the day, he had a few mates,” admitted Kelly.
“But once we had kids he promised he would give up hanging up with them”.
After a quick whiff of the armpits, Kelly is understood to have identified that the shirt must belong to her 22-year-old son Rowan, who recently enrolled to study design at École Pour Les Sangs Bleus Inutiles, Betoota’s mid-tier design school.
“It must be Rowan’s!”
“Ever since he got a job down at that General Pants shop he’s been buying all these shit rags online. I think he paid $90 for this hanky of a shirt”.
When asked about her decision to spend her Sunday doing household chores, Mrs Kelly said she didn’t mind the activity.
“I actually quite like folding the washing, it’s also the only way to know what’s going on in my son’s life.”
“Last week I folded about 4 linen shirts and found an empty condom wrapper in his jeans pocket, so that’d explain why he didn’t come home last Saturday”.
