She picked up a lone sock and a jacket in one hand, a crumpled moist tissue paper in the other. She hung the jacket and threw the sock in the washer and the tissue paper in the trash. Pushing a ball with her foot, she bent herself several times, picking up a book, a hat, a paintbrush, and a Lego piece as she zigzagged her way to the playroom. Tossing them inside, she heard her foot crinkle on something; a wrinkled plastic foil Oreo wrapper. Inside it lay one Oreo, broken. Unhesitatingly, she plopped it in her mouth. Fair enough.
