Mother had decided to trim her household budget wherever possible, so instead of having a dress dry-cleaned, she washed it by hand. Proud of her savings, she boasted to my father, "Just think, Fred, we are five dollars richer because I washed this dress by hand."
"Good," my dad quickly replied. "Wash it again!"
母亲决定尽可能地缩减家庭开支，于是她没有把一件连衣裙送去干洗，而是自己动手洗了。她为自己的节省感到自豪，便向父亲夸耀道：“想想看，弗雷德，我手洗了这件衣服，我们就多了五美元。”
“很好，”父亲迅速回应道，“那就再洗一遍！”
