Parent charges up the stairs to child's room. The floor is layered with strata of clean and dirty laundry. Dresser drawers are stuffed with wadded clothes in various states of cleanliness and presentability. Parent orders child to put on substitute outfit. Parent raises voice.
Veins stand out on the parental neck.
The ensemble is not a success. The T-shirt sports a cracked and peeling cartoon logo. Parent receives child's message via telepathy. Parent winces but remains silent. Co-parent arrives at breakfast table wearing wrinkled shirt from ironing basket and yesterday's trousers.
