Laundry
The lady kept on talking “We used to wash the baby diapers as we didn’t have the throw away type back then and wash our clothes by hand instead of washing machines at their time. We don’t rely on a machine for our work.”
Power Saving
After taking a break to catch her breath she continued “Back then we use to dry our clothes online because we didn’t have some 220 volts energy-gobbling machines to complete our work. We weren’t used to waste the energy and electricity on that, but we didn’t have the green thing at that time.”
Valid Points
Dorothy was making some legitimate and logical points which attracted more crowd than before and in no time there were a lot of people standing. What seemed like regular rhetoric at the market became an interesting discussion.
Television
The television has become a part of the nuclear family over the years since after coming in the market in the 50s “We had one TV or radio in the entire house not in every room like today and with a screen of size of handkerchief not the size of the state of Montana”
The Audience Support
At one moment she realized that she was keeping the crowd too long but once she saw the smile on their faces she got aware of the fact that they are also interested in this. She had managed to charm her audience and was ready to make her speech more interesting for them. With that, Dorothy decided to continue talking.
The Arm Exercise
Every time there were new points and topic to start on. She started with the kitchen this time saying that in their time they use to stir and blend things by hand instead of electrical appliances and to make her point she showed her flexible hand and some of the customers laughed at this.
