Can I Help?

The mother-in-law poked her head in my office this morning asking if I planned to use the laundry room today. Knowing her need to get everything prepared for their impending trip, I said, "No. I'm not doing laundry today. Need any help?"

Houseboy was seeding and weeding today. I mentioned to her that he could bring some luggage up from the basement. When he was downstairs, I said, "I'll help."

She's checking routes and making lists of people to contact. I'll help.

She's not the only one who needs help.
