He noticed that all her laundry was dripping wet.
Hi,
I don’t even know how to word this post.
Sometimes before hanging our wet laundry on a line, we, in an attempt to drain some clothes further, give them a kind of “jerk” – for example, we hold a wet towel from two corners, fly it off and let it come down with a force. We repeat this process two/three times before finally hanging that stuff on the line.
Could you please help me with these lines I am writing? Any suggestions are welcome.
He noticed that all her laundry was dripping?? wet. She daintily picked up one item?? at a time from her basket, wrung it with all her might ??and then shook it out twice??. Drops of water drizzled on his face as the cloth? snapped? in the air. He was suddenly back in his childhood.
"Mother, look it's drizzling out there."
Thanks,
Tom

- but that is more often at some unfortunate friend's buttocks.
- We also 'shake out' a towel or piece of clothing, but that is of dust or crumbs; the fabric is not wet.
