Mother had decided to trim her household budget wherever possible,

Proud of her savings, she boasted to my father, "Just think, Fred, we are five dollars richer because I washed this dress by hand."
妈妈由此而感到骄傲,向爸爸夸口就说::"佛瑞德,你试着想一下, 我们现在又金挣了五美金,因为我用手洗了衣服"
"Good," my dad quickly replied. "Wash it again!"
