Washer store

Last night, the entire family was in the car driving home on a street lined with many small businesses, and Reesa got very excited about the washer store. (Adults know this as an "appliance store.") For that girl, it was all about the washer store -- we passed the washer store, the washer store was open, did you see the washer store was open, can we go to the washer store? 

It had taken us about four seconds to pass the appliance store, and I thought about why it was that this particular store front had captured her attention. Then I thought of the Don Freeman book, A Pocket for Corduroy, that takes place in a laundromat.

"Oh, did you want to see the place where Corduroy was?"

"Yeah!"

Laundromats and appliance stores, all the same thing to a two-year old.
