Notes: Requested drabble (so yes, it is meant to be this short) set one year prior to a previous one-shot, "Family Secrets/Dirty Laundry", which can be found by visiting my profile page.
"Laundry Time"
Mikoto wasn't a bad mother, she was there for her children, supported her husband, and made sure the household affairs were all taken care. It was only when she was going through the dirty laundry that she realized there were only her clothes and Fugaku's in the hamper. She rose from her stool and sought out her younger son. "Sasuke, do you have any dirty laundry for the wash?"
He looked up at her from his homework with a frown. "I've been doing my own laundry since middle school, mom."
Mikoto returned his frown. "Really? You figured it out on your own?"
Her son shook his head and turned back to his work. "Nii-san taught me."
