  • Characters: Trixie, Mom, and Dad (and Knuffle bunny although an inanimate object is still really important to Trixie, might as well be a real person to her.)

  • Summary: Trixie and her dad went to a local Laundromat to do their laundry but when her dad wasn't looking he accidentally put Knuffle bunny into the washing machine. On their way home Trixie realized what had happened and tried to tell her dad, but since she's only a little girl she can only speak gibberish. When they got home her mom realized what the problem was so the whole family ran back to the Laundromat to retrieve Knuffle bunny, which inevitably were Trixie's first words.
