Davy’s Diapered Donation
Chapter 5
As Martha (Davy’s mom) came into Davy’s room to wake him up,
she was also carrying a clean pair of plastic pants, four clean and folded
cloth diapers and a clean white onesie.
Martha goes over to Davy’s safety bed and lowers the side.
Martha: Oh….DA….vy…….Time to wake up baby……
Davy: (Stretching and yawning) Morning already?
Martha: Yes son, I am getting you up later than usual
and I let you sleep in because I have to take you down to the laundromat with
all of your cloth diapers and onesies to get them AND you, all nice an clean.
Davy: MOOOOM! Are YOU saying that you are going to
have my diapers and I washed in a washer????
Martha: Yes hun, I have to go to work. I don’t have
time to wash you AND your diapers and onesies. SO…that means that I have to
take you to the laundromat and leave you with them so that they will wash you
and your diapers and onesies. Now, I am going to change your diaper and then I
have to gather up all of your wet and dirty diapers and onesies that need to be
washed and then I will pack it all up and then we are going to the laundromat.
OK Davy?
Martha gets 18 year old and disabled Davy out of his safety
bed and brings him over to the changing table and then she lifts him up and
then lays him down on his back.
Martha then unfastens the snaps in Davy’s onesie and then
works the onesie up to just over his chest before she removes the blue rubber
pants. Martha tosses the rubber pants onto the floor and then she begins to
unfasten the snappies that are holding Davy’s diaper on before she removes both
snappies and sets them aside while she pulls the front of Davy’s diaper down
and then pulls the soaking wet cloth pre-fold diaper out from underneath him,
tossing it into the cloth diaper laundry basket on top of the others that she
is going to bring to the laundromat. Then she opens a container of baby wipes
and then begins to wipe Davy clean before throwing each of the wipes into the
trash can.
Then Martha takes the first cloth diaper and then slides it
underneath Davy then she lifts Davy up and slides another layered cloth diaper
underneath him. Then she folds the wings inward doing the airplane fold before
pulling the front of the two layered cloth pre-fold diapers up and then she
fastened them using both rubber snappies.
Then Martha took the clean baby blue rubber pants and then
slid them over Davy’s feet and then she began to work the rubber pants up along
each of Davy’s legs until she got to the cloth diaper. She then lifted Davy up
while she slid the rubber pants up and over his cloth diaper. Once that was
done, Martha pulled Davy up and then helped him down from the changer and onto
his feet.
Martha: There ya go sweetie. That ought to feel a LOT
more comfortable. Let’s take you to the dining room now so I can get you
something to eat and drink for breakfast…OK?
Then Martha grabs Davy’s left hand in her right and then
pulls him out of the bedroom, down a short hall to the dining room where she
sits him into his special highchair looking seat and then she puts the tray on
before she walks into the kitchen to get a bowl full of cherries, strawberries
and bananas with fruity pebbles cereal shaken on top with a little milk poured
in. Martha brings the bowl to Davy who hungrily begins to eat once the bowl was
put down. As Davy eats, some Cherry juice drips all down his onesie and gets
all over the front and stains as more drips down into his lap right on top of
his diaper and baby blue rubber pants that is covered by the onesie. Martha
sees this and realizes that his onesie is stained.
Martha: OH…HON…EY! You got cherry juices ALL…OVER the
front of that white onesie! I hope…they are able to get those stains out at the
laundromat you and your diapers are going to…..
Davy: AWE…MOM! Are you REALLY going to make me stay
there and get washed with my wet and dirty diapers?
Martha: Yes…and you have NO choice either! When you
are done there, I am going to get you out of your chair and then get you ready
to go to the laundromat…OK?
Davy: Mom? May I have some milk please?
Martha: Sure baby…..
Martha goes to the refrigerator and then takes the whole
milk out and then she sets the gallon of milk down and then opens a cabinet
door and gets one of Davy’s sippy cups out and then sets it down on the kitchen
counter while she opens the lid. Then once the lid was off, she took the lid
off the milk and poured milk in until the cup was full. Then she put the lid
back on the sippy cup and then she brought it to Davy at the table, in his
special highchair.
Martha: There you go sweetheart. Are you finished
with the bowl?
Davy: Yes mom….ALL done!
Martha takes the bowl to the kitchen and then begins to wash
it and the spoon Davy used before putting the bowl into the strainer and the
spoon into the strainer too. Then she put the milk away before coming over to
Davy in the chair. She takes the tray and removes it, then she pulls the chair
out a little then helps Davy down onto his feet.
Martha: Ready to go to the laundromat hun?
Davy: NO! Not…really mommy.
Martha: Oh…COME ON! It’s going to be fun.
Davy: You’re not the one that has to be washed with
wet and dirty diapers!
Martha: OK….let’s go to the car ok? Let’s get you
into your car seat…OK?
Martha takes Davy out to the car then puts him into his car
seat and buckles him in before going back into the house to get the large 13
gallon sized laundry basket and the six bags of cloth diapers and Davy’s dirty
onesies. Martha comes back out carrying the laundry basket and then she puts it
into the trunk then she goes back into the house to get the next three bags of
diapers. She comes back out and puts the bags into the trunk. Then she goes
back into the house for the last and final three bags as well as Davy’s diaper
bag that has six thick disposable #NorthShoreCareSupplySupremeOvernightDiapers
a bottle of baby powder, two travel packs of Huggies baby Wipes, and an extra
sippy cup full of milk. As she comes out, she shuts and locks the front door
and then carries the bags, the diaper bag over her shoulder, to the trunk where she puts the bags of
onesies and diapers in and then closes the trunk. Then she walks around to the
driver’s door, opens it gets, in, then shuts the door. She puts Davy’s diaper
bag on the passenger seat then she takes the keys out and inserts them into the
ignition. She then starts the car, then puts it into reverse and then backs out
of the driveway. Martha heads down highway 50 to Elisabeth to 4th
street then she turns right and heads up south 4th street to
Abriendo. She comes to the light and gets into the left turn lane. When the
green left turn arrow shows, she turns left onto Abriendo and then she drives
for a few blocks until she comes to Excell Laundry where she finds a
parking space on the side of the building.
She parks and then turns the car off.
She parks and then turns the car off.
Then she grabs Davy’s diaper bag and then opens her door and
then gets out. She closes her door and then she walks around to the trunk and
then she opens it with her keys. She raises the trunk lid and then starts
taking the bags of wet and dirty diapers into Excell Laundry three at a time.
Once inside, Martha goes right to the office.
Martha: Hi…..I have six bags of cloth diapers,
onesies and a 13 gallon laundry basket full of wet cloth diapers that need
washed. I also have my 68 pound diapered son that I want you to wash. May I
leave these here while I go get the other bags, the basket and then my son?
Lisa: Sure…..
Martha goes back out to her car and takes out the next three
bags and carries them into Excell Laundry and straight to the office. She then
sets them down near the door then leaves again to get the laundry basket.
Martha returns carrying the heavy and overfilled basket and then set it down
next to the bags.
Martha: Be….RIGHT back….going to get my son…..
Martha goes back to the car, walks over to the passenger
side, opens the door, and then leans in to unbuckle Davy and help get him out
of the seat, the car and onto his feet.
Then once Davy is standing on the tarmac, Martha shuts the
door and then grabs Davy’s right hand in her left and then they both walk into
Excell Laundry. Once inside, Martha brings Davy over to the office.
Martha: Here is my son….Davy. I want you to wash him
with all of his dirty diapers and onesies for me. Can you do that? I heard that
you have washed a few others and their diapers…..
Lisa: Sure….I can do that. Let me weight everything
and then I will get you a ticket.
Lisa bends down to pick up Davy.
Lisa: Hi there…My name is Lisa. I will be washing you
and your diapers today. I need to put you into this…bucket so I can weigh you.
OK HEEEEERE we go……
Lisa Picks up Davy and then puts him into the green bucket
to weigh him.
the scale reads 68.6 pounds. Then Lisa writes that down onto
the ticket then she goes over to take Davy out of the bucket and then she puts
him back down onto his feet in the office where they store laundry until it’s
time to wash it.
Lisa: Davy baby, stay in here for a little bit while
I weigh the rest of your diapers…ok?
Then Lisa goes over to pick up the first of six large pillow
cases full of formerly wet cloth diapers and then she puts the bag into the
bucket and weights them.
The scale reads 30.2 pounds. Then Lisa takes the weight and
writes it onto the ticket and then she puts the bag in the laundry storage area
where Davy is before getting another bag. Lisa weighs that bag and it weighs
35.4 pounds Lisa adds that weight to the ticket and then she puts the second
bag down in the laundry storage area. She then grabs the third bag and puts it
into the bucket and weighs it. The scale reads 24.5 pounds then Lisa writes
that weight onto the ticket. Then Lisa picks the bag full of Davy’s onesies up
and weighs them. The bag full of his onesies weighs 23 pounds. Lisa then she
writes down that weight on the ticket then takes the bag out and puts it with
the others in the laundry storage area. Then Lisa weighs the fourth bag of
cloth diapers and it weighs 44.1 pounds. Then Lisa writes the weight onto the
ticket before putting the bag with the others in the laundry storage area. Then
Lisa weighs the fifth bag and it weighs 38.7 pounds. Lisa writes the weight
onto the ticket and then puts that bag with the others before going over for
the last bag and picking it up. Lisa weighs that last bag of formerly wet cloth
diapers and it weighs 34.6 pounds. She then takes the last bag of diapers and
puts it with the others. Then Lisa comes over to the 13 gallon laundry basket
and picks it up and then puts the laundry basket into the green bucket and
weights everything. The laundry basket weighs 55.8 pounds. Lisa writes the
weight on the ticket and then she begins to total the weights up at $1 per
pound.
Lisa: OK, that will be….$286.30 plus the $10 drop-off
fee. Your total is $306.34.
Martha: Here is $400. I have some special
instructions. If Davy’s stains don’t come out of his diapers or his onesies or
him, send them back through a second time but if they don’t come out after
that, go ahead and get rid of him and all of his diapers. If something happens
to me and I can’t come back to pick Davy up, could you make sure to either just
throw everything away or donate him or do whatever you want with him and his
diapers? I mean…just in case I get into an accident or something…..can you do
that for me?
Lisa: Sure….we usually donate any unclaimed clothing
and articles to the ARC Thrift stores. I will try to donate Davy and his
diapers but if they won’t take them, then he will have to be thrown away. Is
this ok with you?
Martha: Certainly. I will be back to pick Davy up no
later than 6:00 pm…but if I don’t show up by then, go ahead and do what you
will with him……
Lisa: OK…I will get your laundry all cleaned up for
you. Have a great day Martha.
Martha: You too.
Martha leaves and Lisa goes and gets a laundry cart and then
brings it to the office.
Lisa brings the cart over as close to the bags and the
basket that Davy was in and then she starts emptying the bags into the laundry
cart. Lisa empties four of the bags into the pile in the laundry cart then once
the last bag’s diapers were in the cart, Lisa reaches over to the basket that
Davy is in and she picks him up and then puts him into the cart on top of the
load of diapers. Lisa then looks at the onesie that Davy is wearing and sees
that it has a bunch of pinkish stains down the front and all over the front
part of the onesie just over Davy’s diaper.
Lisa: (turning the cart around for a second to go
back and get the spray laundry pre-treater liquids, laundry detergents and the
bleach) Davy, You have red stains all down that onesie and you have large red
stains all over you sweetie. I need to get a spray pre-treater to get those
stains out of you, your onesie and anything else that you have on.
Lisa then goes and gets the spray laundry pre-treater stain
remover bottle and then comes over to the laundry cart and starts to push it
towards washing machine number 1 across the room and almost in the last row
towards the rear left-hand side of the large room.
Once Lisa gets to washing machine one, she opens the door
wide and then picks Davy up and then stands him up facing the opening of the
washer. Lisa grabs the spray bottle of the pre-treater and then begins to spray it all down the
front of Davy’s white onesie. Once the front of Davy’s onesie is soaked with
the pre-treater, Lisa reaches down and unfastens the snaps in the crotch of
Davy’s onesie. Then Lisa works the onesie up and then off of Davy, before she
tosses it into the washer. Then Lisa sees that Davy has some baby blue rubber
pants on.
Lisa: Time to get those bright pastel baby blue
rubber pants off ya….
Lisa then pulls the rubber pants down and then tosses them
to the floor while she takes the laundry pre-treater and starts to spray Davy’s
almost soaking wet cloth diaper down heavily because it has some of the red
fruit stains all along the top edge. Lisa soaks Davy’s cloth diaper with the
laundry pre-treater spray then she turns Davy around and sits him down at the
edge of the opening of the washing machine.
Davy: Miss? Do you…HAVE to wash me with my dirty
diapers?
Lisa: Yes baby, that is what we do here. We wash
whatever we are paid to wash. Your mom paid us to wash you, you are going to
get washed.
Davy: But, but…I don’t want to!
Lisa: Well, you are about to go into the washer
baby…no matter what…even if you don’t want to. Your mother wants you to get
clean with your dirty diapers and onesies…so…you ARE getting washed…OK, lay
down for me…that-a-boy….now…in your legs go….OK….now I’ll load in your diapers.
Lisa then begins to load Davy’s dirty cloth diapers into the
washer. The first and second loads of diapers were tossed in and they landed on
Davy.
Davy: HEY! They are getting me more dirty!
Lisa: Yea, but you are going to be washed in there as
soon as I am done loading these diapers in there.
Lisa: You mean…THESE? (Pointing to the box of
detergent and the bleach bottle)
This is ALL laundry
detergent and this…is a bottle of bleach. We use that to get you and your
diapers ALL nice and white.
Davy: you mean…you are going to use that stuff on me
and the diapers???
Lisa: Yes baby, I am. It’s washer time
now…..here….we….go…last load of diapers going in….THERE……now…ready to get
washed Davy?
Lisa then swung the washer door closed and then she turned
the locking knob and locked the door. Davy leaned over to look out of the port
window to see what was going on outside.
Davy: (Knocking on the door) HEY! Miss? Let me out
please….I don’t wanna be washed!
Lisa ignores Davy as she puts the powdered laundry detergent
and the bleach into the rubber pockets.
Davy: Miss? MISS….How long will I be IN here?
Then once Lisa had filled the pockets with detergent and
bleach, she came over to the controls to set the water temp and the cycles. As
she set the wash cycle and the temp, Lisa answered Davy’s question.
Lisa: You will be in there for about 42 minutes to 52
minutes with the extra wash and rinse cycles. I will see you in 50 minutes.
Have a nice wash….baby.
As the hot 120 degree water continued to fill the tub.
Davy: OUCH! OUCH! It’s too hot! OUCH! Then as the tub
continued to fill with the hot, sudsy, soapy, bleach water, Davy began to lay
back and relax some as he became used to the hot water. JUST as he laid back,
the tumbler tub began to turn.
Davy flipped over and over and over, occasionally bouncing
around and against the washtub bounce bars. The first wash cycle lasted about
15 minutes before the now hot, dirty, soapy, sudsy wash water began to drain.
Once the water drained away, the fresh rinse water began to flow into the
turning washtub. As Davy bounced around inside and was slapped and smacked with
the heavy, wet diapers and onesies, the hot rinse water rinsed all of the soap
and bleach out.
Then the washtub stopped and then more hot soapy, sudsy wash
water with bleach came into the washtub again. About five minutes or so later,
the washtub began the second wash cycle. Once again, Davy began to roll, bounce
and flip around in the washtub and the hot, soapy, sudsy wash water with bleach
in it splashed everywhere. Davy’s diaper began to tear a little bit along the
soaker pad each time he bounced and landed on the balance bars inside the tub.
The tears weren’t that bad but just enough to notice.
After another 15 minutes of bouncing around and getting
slapped and smacked with the heavy, soaking wet and now clean diapers and
onesies, the wash water began to drain again and once the wash water had
completely drained, the washtub began to pickup speed. It was time for the
spin-cycle. After ten minutes of being centrifugally pinned against the wall of
the washtub, the washtub began to slow to a gradual stop. Once the tub stopped,
a sharp beeping sounded and about 15 minutes later, Lisa came over to washing
machine 1 with one of the laundry carts. Lisa positioned the cart nearby and
then she bent down and unlocked and opened the washer door. She peered into the
washtub and saw Davy passed out and just laying there. She checked to make sure
he was still alive and once that was confirmed, Lisa began to take the diapers,
onesies and Davy out of the washer. Lisa noticed that Davy’s diaper in the back
along the top edge of the soaker pad had torn a little bit. A little
frustrated, Lisa shook her head as she pulled a limp and heavy Davy out of the
washer and laid him on the cold, wet cloth diapers and onesies in the cart.
Then she shut the door and then pushed the cart over to the Dryer by the wall.
It was the largest Dryer they had too.
Once Lisa got the cart over to the dryer, she opened the
door, then she came back over and lifted Davy up and then loaded him into the
dryer. Once she had loaded Davy, she began to load Davy’s diapers and onesies.
Then, once the diapers and onesies were loaded, Lisa went back to the office to
get two tennis balls that they used to fluff the diapers up. Then Lisa came
over and tossed the two tennis balls in before she closed the door and it
latched. Then Lisa put in four quarters before selecting warm heat and then she
pressed the start button and the dryer cycle roared to life. Davy and the
diapers began to get tossed around and around as the dryer tub turned around
and around.
Davy woke up and found himself being tossed around and
around, having semi dried cloth diapers and onesies slapping, bouncing and
smacking against him as he rolled and bounced around in the dryer tub. About 40
minutes after Lisa had started the dryer,
After about another 20 minutes, Lisa came over to the dryer
to get Davy, the diapers and onesies out and get them over to the folding table
to get folded. Lisa came over to the dryer with the laundry cart, opened the
door and then got Davy out first.
Lisa: Hi Davy, how was your washing and drying? You
look NICE and clean baby…..You even have that….baby powder scent to you and
your diapers.
Lisa: I am taking them over to the folding table so I
can fold them all up nicely for when your mom comes back.
Davy: What if I wet my diaper while waiting for my
mom?
Lisa: Then……..I will put you back through another
wash and dry cycle. Time to get your rubber pants back on ya so you can look
nice and clean for when your mom comes for you.
Lisa pushed the now full cart over to the folding table and
then got Davy up and out of the cart and onto his feet before she walked him
over to the office where she had put his blue rubber pants after tossing them
to the floor. Lisa had rinsed his rubber pants and dried them with an old towel
so they would be ready when Davy came out of the dryer.
Lisa took the blue rubber pants and then had Davy step into
the leg holes before she worked them up and over his thick, clean, white,
fluffy diapers that he had on. Once the rubber pants were on, Lisa took Davy
into the office to a back room where they stored clean laundry until it was
picked up.
Davy: What are we doing here?
Lisa: I am going to put you into one of these two
tubs on this shelf back here until your mom comes to pick you up. Your nice,
clean cloth diapers will go into the tub right next to the one you will be
in. Ready? UP………and IN ya go
honey….now…..stay there for me while I finish folding your clean and fluffy
cloth diapers….OK?
With that….Lisa leaves the laundry storage area and then
goes to fold all of Davy’s cloth diapers and onesies. After about 45 minutes,
Lisa had finished folding Davy’s cloth diapers and onesies. She then began to
bring the folded diapers and onesies into the laundry storage room and put
everything into the tub on the shelf next to Davy.
Then Lisa left the room once everything was neatly in the
tub and went on to do her other washing duties.
Around 6:30 pm, Lisa called Davy’s mom and left another
voicemail asking her to please pick up her laundry and return her phone call.
This was the second call that Lisa made.
Soon, Lisa got a phone call from one of Davy’s mom’s
relatives saying that Davy’s mom had been in a horrific car accident and had
died on her way to come pick up her laundry. Lisa asked the relative what she
should do with everything. The relative gave Lisa the go-ahead to donate it all
or throw it away….which ever she chose to do with it. With that, Lisa hung the
phone up. Then she went over to Davy in the laundry storage room and told Davy
that his mom had died in a horrific car accident and that no one in her family
wanted Davy or his diapers.
Lisa: I am sorry to have to tell you this, but….you
mom has been in a bad, bad car accident and she died on her way to come get you
and your diapers. I got a call back from your aunt and she told me to donate
you and your diapers or throw you and your diapers and things away, whichever
was best. I’m going to have to donate you, your diapers and onesies to a thrift
store called the ARC. They will decide what to do with you from there…once they
come and pick you and your diapers up. WHEN you wet your diapers, I will have
to send you back through another wash cycle before the ARC takes you.
Davy: What IS this…ARC you talk about? A…thrift
store?
Lisa: Yes baby, a thrift store. We donate any
unclaimed clothing items to the ARC thrift stores. Since you were here to get
washed, you….get to be donated to the ARC…and they will decide if they sell you
or throw you away…..
Davy: When is this thrift store coming to get me?
Lisa: Today is Saturday……So on Monday they will come
to take you, your diapers and onesies. I’m sorry baby…..but it is just…the way
we do things around here.
Davy: Do you think that the ARC thrift stores will
throw my diapers and onesies and I away?
Lisa: I really can’t tell you what they will or won’t
do, but if I was them, I probably would. No one likes to buy used cloth diapers
or plastic pants for Sanitary reasons. So…I think they might. I am leaving here
in a few minutes, and I will be leaving you here for
Miss “January” to watch over….I have left instructions to
have you washed again at 8 am. She will be washing you when she comes in
tomorrow. See you baby.
Lisa then leaves for the night and locks everything up for
the night.
It becomes very quiet in the locked office so Davy falls
asleep in the tub. By the time January comes in at 6:30 am to open the
laundromat, Davy is fast asleep and has wet his diapers a lot as he slept. As
January gets everything set up and ready, she unlocks the doors at 7 am and
then she goes to start doing the laundry that she has to do.
January comes into the laundry storage room and takes the
tub down that Davy is in that was on the shelf. Then she takes a few of the
diapers and onesies that had been put into the tub with Davy that were leaked
onto when Davy wet his cloth diapers and his blue rubber pants.
January: good morning Davy sweetie. I am January. I
am going to give you and your onesies and diapers a nice…hot…bath……Lisa left me
a nice long note telling me to rewash everything you were brought in with. How
would you like to be rinsed off in our sink first before I put you and your
diapers into the washing machine? I have to rinse off those baby blue rubber
pants anyhow…..and then I have to take them off before I rinse you and wash you
in the washing machine.
Davy: (Stretching and yawning) AWWWWE MAN! Do I….HAVE
to go back into that washing machine again?
January: I have been told to give you your daily bath
in one of the machines. Come on…it’s going to be FUN! Ready for your….morning
bath?
Davy: How come my cloth diapers and onesies have to
go in with me?
January: Because, you wet them when your rubber pants
leaked. OK baby, let’s go over to my nice, big sink first so I can rinse out
your rubber pants and then I will get you into the washer with your
diapers…..OK baby?
January takes one of the laundry carts and fills it with
Davy’s clean and folded cloth diapers and onesies and the few that had been
leaked onto, and tosses them into the cart. Then she lays Davy down on the load
in the cart and then pushes the cart into the back of the laundromat to a
large, deep, white, plastic sink. January then picks Davy up and puts Davy down
into the sink feet and legs first.
She then works his plastic pants off and then she makes Davy sit down in the sink while she rinses his rubber pants off.
She then works his plastic pants off and then she makes Davy sit down in the sink while she rinses his rubber pants off.
Then, after Davy’s rubber pants are done being rinsed,
January takes Davy out of the sink and puts him back into the cart.
January: How was that? I bet THAT felt…nice…..huh
baby?
Davy: Yea…I liked that.
January: Now I am going to put you and your diapers
into the washing machine for your morning bath….how would you….like to hold
your diapers for me while I am loading the washer? I can even get you our
rubber ducky to play with while you are waiting for the washer to fill……..
Davy: That sounds fun miss.
January pushes the laundry cart over to washer number 1 and
then stops.
Then January picks Davy up and puts him on to his feet then
she picks him up again and then she inserts Davy into the washer feet first and
then slides Davy into the washer before leaning in so she can position him with
his head and body laying down in the bottom of the washer tub. January then
leans back out and stands up and then she starts to grab armloads of Davy’s
diapers and onesies as she starts to toss them into the washer on top of Davy
inside.
January: Now….let me load your diapers and onesies in
here, then I will go and get the rubber ducky for you…OK?
January then loads all of the diapers and onesies into the
washer then goes and gets the rubber ducks for Davy to play with in the washer.
She then hands the rubber ducky to him before she walks over to the office and
gets the box of powdered ALL detergent and the bleach and then she walks back
to washer number 1.
Davy: Is that the soap you are going to use on my
diapers and I? What is….THAT in the…bottle?
January: This? OH…this is bleach. It helps make your
diapers all nice and white!
Davy: Are you going to use hot water on my diapers
and I?
January: Yes honey, that is how your diapers will get
all nice and clean baby. Ready to get washed? Time to close and lock the door
sweetie. See you in 42 minutes or so…..
January then swings the door closed and then she locks it.
She then puts 8 quarters into the washer and then she selects the wash cycle
with the extra wash and rinse cycles.
Then she pushes the start button and then all of a sudden the washer began to fill up with hot, soapy, sudsy, wash water with bleach. Davy wasn’t happy that he was being washed again….the yellow rubber ducky began to float in the water that was rising steadily in the washer.
Then she pushes the start button and then all of a sudden the washer began to fill up with hot, soapy, sudsy, wash water with bleach. Davy wasn’t happy that he was being washed again….the yellow rubber ducky began to float in the water that was rising steadily in the washer.
Davy: Miss? Oh Miss…can you let me…out please….I
don’t wanna be washed!
As the washing machine cycle starts, Davy and all of the diapers begin to bounce around inside the washer tumbler, splashing around with the soapy, foamy, bleach water. first t he wash cycle, then the rinse cycle and then another wash cycle before the last rinse cycle. By this time, Davy and his cloth diapers were clean. A Buzzer outside let January know that the washer was finished 52 minutes after it started.
January came over to get Davy and his diapers out and into the dryer.
January grabs one of the laundry carts, brings it over to the front of the washer and then opens the door to the washing machine. She then begins pulling handfuls of Davy's diapers out, putting the wet diapers into the cart each time. Before too long, January had helped Davy and his clean and very white diaper out of the washing machine.
Davy: After my diapers and I are dry, what is going to....happen?
January: well, you and your diapers are going to be donated to the ARC today sweetie. We want you and the diapers to be as CLEAN as possible just in case they decide to sell you and your diapers.
Davy: Do you think my diapers and I have a good chance of being sold?
January: Actually, no, I don't. I think...the ARC will simply throw you, your onesies and the plastic pants away....No one likes to buy used cloth diapers or plastic pants for Sanitary reasons. So…I think they might actually throw you and them away. Sorry sweetie.
Davy: Where do my diapers, onesies and plastic pants go then?
January: UM...I don't know sweetie. The landfill I guess.You will just have to wait and see.
January loads some of Davy's wet cloth diapers into the dryer then she lifts Davy up and into the dryer before loading the rest of his cloth diapers and onesies into the dryer.
January: OK Davy, time to get you and the diapers all...nice and dry.....see you in 46 minutes.
January closes the door and then adds some quarters to the dryer, she selects high heat and then she hits the button. She then watches as Davy and the diapers get tossed around and around for a few seconds before going back to work.
Davy, inside the dryer gets tossed around and around and gets slapped repeatedly with diapers as they get tossed around inside the tumbler. Round and round Davy goes, as the tumbler turns. The diapers all getting drier and drier as the hot air blows into the dryer.
January came over to get Davy and his diapers out and into the dryer.
January grabs one of the laundry carts, brings it over to the front of the washer and then opens the door to the washing machine. She then begins pulling handfuls of Davy's diapers out, putting the wet diapers into the cart each time. Before too long, January had helped Davy and his clean and very white diaper out of the washing machine.
Davy: After my diapers and I are dry, what is going to....happen?
January: well, you and your diapers are going to be donated to the ARC today sweetie. We want you and the diapers to be as CLEAN as possible just in case they decide to sell you and your diapers.
Davy: Do you think my diapers and I have a good chance of being sold?
January: Actually, no, I don't. I think...the ARC will simply throw you, your onesies and the plastic pants away....No one likes to buy used cloth diapers or plastic pants for Sanitary reasons. So…I think they might actually throw you and them away. Sorry sweetie.
Davy: Where do my diapers, onesies and plastic pants go then?
January: UM...I don't know sweetie. The landfill I guess.You will just have to wait and see.
