It's laundry day and Trixie will be helping daddy today. It all starts fine and Trixie's in a jolly mood. She's daddy's little helper today. But on the way home, Trixie REALISED SOMETHING and her mood made a 180 degree turn... And Daddy doesn't have a single clue what caused the hullabaloo...
I had to repeat this story to my kids at least 3 times per reading cause they enjoyed it so much...
