Chat with mom on solving world problems

Over a week ago our washer broke down. The repair man came and looked at it but had to order parts. We've now received the parts but are waiting for him to return to rebuild our washer.

Mom is away for the week and I caught her on instant messenger this morning...

mom: This is your Mother Dear! (chatting on Sarah's account)

me:  Hi mother!

me: I can help solve some of the world's problems

mom: What world problems are you wanting to solve?

me: Here is the solution...

mom: The wringer washer is an idea. But I do like my servant that does everything for me!

me:  But this won't brake down on you!

uses less water and can clean better

and best of all ..... no electricity!

mom: Do you want to do the laundry?

me: If we got one of these I wouldn't mind helping

mom:  You are so much fun!

me: What's wrong with that?!

it's very practical. I thought through it very well and it will pay off

mom: But it's a lot more work! We would soon have to figure out how to dirty less clothes!

me: What's wrong with that?!

you see, it's a trade off. Money for electricity, extra water, repairing the washer or just a little more of your time

mom: You're so much fun Jon!  I love your ideas! :)

me:  sure sure....

mom:  Yes, yes!

me:  You see, if you only spent less money but had to spend more time and effort you may opt for the washing machine. But that time could be spent with family...instead of dad at work paying for the washer which broke again

I'd much rather work fewer hours a day away from home and spend more time at home working with my family.

mom:  I appreciate the way you think Jon! :)

me:  I try...maybe someday I can have one... put it on my birthday list

mom:  My Grandma had one.  I remember it being in their kitchen when we would go visit them!

me: :)

mom: Well, bye, bye it has been fun chatting with you! I miss all you! Love and hugs, Mother Dear

me: Bye mother, love you
