A: Mandate 2 is a mysterious phenomenon that has been observed to occur whenever someone in your family asks you to pick up something from the store. It's like the fabric of reality, but with more laundry detergent.
Listen for the telltale phrase: "Hey, can you pick up [insert mundane item] on your way home?" If you hear this, congratulations! You're in Mandate 2.
No, you cannot. It's a trap. Like a never-ending, laundry-filled abyss.
No, of course not. It's just a bunch of made-up nonsense. Or is it...?
Send an email to mandate2@noescape.com. Please include a detailed description of the sighting, including time, date, and number of laundry detergent packets observed.
