1. What would it be like if all the rooms in the house were small and warm like this one? Could I find someone who would build me a house of small rooms? What would it cost to finance the construction of such a house?
2. Has this become the only I way I can solve my problems?
3. Are they talking about me? I heard my name. They're talking about me. That was definitely my name she just said. What are they doing out there?
4. Would this not be a great place for an aluminum can crusher?
5. Is it my detergent causing the rash?
6. I used to be able to fit my whole body between the dryer and the wall, but now my hips are stuck. Am I becoming a woman?

8. Nobody ever remembers the laundry room. How can I work that to my advantage?
9. What will my life be like when I learn how to sew a button?
10. What in here could I eat to survive, if I decided to never leave this room? Does dryer lint have nutritional value? Has my mother ever asked these questions?
