Corrected text:
Of all the different household chores, I dislike laundry the most. I don’t mind putting the laundry in the washing machine or pulling wet laundry out of the washer and heaving it into the dryer. It’s folding and hanging and putting away all the laundry that I can’t stand, so I tend not to do it. Then I end up with heaps of clean, dry, wrinkled laundry on various pieces of furniture. I wish I had a maid to do this for me!
