Yesterday evening we left all of the boys home and went to McKayla’s “Meet your teacher night” at high school. First off, let me tell you, I think a sadist made her class schedule. She goes from one end of the first floor, to the other end of the third floor, then down to the second and back up to the third. Then way out to the photography class which isn’t even in the main building. I think the art department might be the bastard step child of the high school. Then back to the gym. I’m pretty sure she spends the entirety of her passing periods running at full speed.
While Dave and I reinacted her day, we left the boys with clear instructions:
- Don’t kill each other (always a good blanket instruction)
- Clean the kitchen as a team (otherwise lots of yelling ensues, I’m pretty sure lots of yelling ensued anyways
- When you are done you may watch a movie.
I called about half way through her schedule to check up on them. The phone was picked up and there were no sounds of duress in the background, which is always a good sign. They were all doing well and settling into a riveting rewatch of Jimmy Neutron.
When we opened the door I found this:
Someone put dish soap in the dishwasher. This can’t compare with Dave’s childhood dishwashing fiasco, which includes waste high bubbles that amazingly get deeper and taller with every telling. Maybe modern Dawn Soap doesn’t have the bubbling power of the 1980s version.
It was entertaining and funny and most importantly it was being cleaned up when I got home.
At least the floor was washed, albeit with someone’s feet, but it was washed. Sometimes that’s all you can ask for.

Dude you need those slipper mops!
how amazing would that be!
no they didnt have Dave with them to put as much dawn liquid in that they did :)! lol I cannot say I have ever done this before. It is pretty funny though as long as they got to clean it all up lol.
Ha ha! Probably true! *I* haven’t done this either and it was rather funny 🙂
Since they took what actually makes soap clean, no soap makes the same suds as the old days. Harry did that when he had his first apartment with a dishwasher.
They take away our soap and then put lots of yucky stuff in our foods 😦
I did that as a kid. I filled the whole soap compartment, and when we discovered it, the water and soap were dripping down through the floor and into the basement. My mom was SO MAD.
HAHAHA!! I think if they would have got the carpet I wouldn’t have found it so funny…
Dave’s 3 foot wide kitchen helped to contain the spill, increasing the depth, also, yeah, if he put less than a full cup of Dawn in the dishwasher I’d be surprized.
See, I heard it was with you after school and involved a wet vacuum and every towel in the house….
Admittedly I have done this! Most embarrasing, it was at my boyfriends parents house, I was being oh so helpful cleaning up and upon walking into the kitchen an hour later there was standing water and bubbles all across the floor.
