Oh Peter!!

...men. They really are clueless. I don't know how many conversations I've had with them and they don't understand the concept of color sorting.

I love that you managed to address both the laundry aspect and money laundering in one prompt! You amaze me.

With The Boyfriend, it's folding clothes that he doesn't understand. He thinks I have superpowers, because I can generally reduce the volume of his luggage by at least half.

:D Glad you enjoyed the play on words! At first, I had absolutely no idea where to go with this prompt, but I do have a weakness for puns.

Thanks again for the remarkably random prompts. They're exciting, even if they do cause me to walk around, muttering "laundry" over and over in a vague monotone.

Oh, poor befuddled Peter!

Women's clothing was so fussy.

LOL! Like men's clothing isn't! Don't try washing those suits, okay?!! :) :)

Love Neal's contribution at the end, lol!! :)

Ah, but suits go to the dry cleaners, which might as well be magic. :D

Hehe, I kind of suspect that after that drabble ended, Peter was pelting Neal with balled-up socks.

Oops! I'm sure El is going to be way more upset about the sweater than the twenty.

She'll probably just roll her eyes and forgive him. :D Peter was trying to be sweet, albeit somewhat ineptly.

"Oh, Peter...money laundering?" Neal shook his head sorrowfully. "Here's a tip: you're doing it wrong."

Best ending ever. =) Such a creative drabble, I love it!

Hehe, thank you. :D I don't think Neal is above puns, if it gives him the chance to tease Peter.

Heeee! That is perfect Neal. Now how fast can Peter replace that sweeter?

Depends on how fast he can threaten or cajole Neal into helping. ;) Peter probably doesn't know where El shops, but Neal very well might!
