Erno’s grandma once told me how lucky I am. You have a washing machine, she said. We had to do the laundry by hand back in the days. We washed in the river. The water was cold as ice, it hurt our hands. It was hard work. It killed us. Our hands, our backs. Everything hurt the day after. You have a vacuum cleaner. All we had was a broom. You have a fridge, you have a car, you have electricity, you have central heating, you have everything! You even have a dryer and a dishwasher, my girl! Be thankful! Housework must be as easy as pie!
