Does a Doddy house stand for what I think it does? No way you had that old washer! You’re not that old! And your kids certainly aren’t

It’s from the German, dawdi haus.

Dawdi Haus – a small house or rooms separate from the main house where a grandparent or grandparents live out their retirement. dawg – day. dat – dad (alternate spellings: daed, daadi)

Yes! I had an old Maytag wringer washer - looked just like that. Square more than round lol. I used it for years. I got an automatic washing machine when the kids went to high school.

I never used disposable diapers - with that old washing machine I could set it on wash and let those diapers swish around for an hour if I wanted (or forgot lol). Then out to the sunshine on the clothes line. They were the whitest diapers around. They were also the only ones around.

slight slide...
when i was 4 years old, i put my hand in a wringer like that.
Thank heavens a lady came around and beat the thing apart.
It would have torn my arm off, I think.
I was left with a somewhat mangled left hand. Fingers curled, plenty of scar tissue.
No doctor wanted to touch it.
Finally in the mid 2000’s I Had an ortho surgeon who fixed most of it.
I can straighten 3 of my my fingers now (I can finally wear a wedding band on my left hand - woo-hoo!)
end slide...
