Top 10



Here's my Top 10 reasons to not have a dishwasher:
10. You get to wear rubber gloves at least 3 times a day.
9. You get creative about using as few dishes as possible.
8. It's a way to get out of doing something you don't want to do..."oh, I can't change that dirty diaper because I'm washing dishes."
7. You get time to reflect on whether the meal was worth the mess.
6. It's a diet in itself..."Hmmm, I don't feel like washing dishes, so I won't eat!"
5. You realize how good your tennis shoes are after standing in one place for a long time.
4. You get to refine your debating skills by deciding whether or not the dish means enough to you to make it worth washing.
3. You don't let leftovers in the fridge start to grow because you don't want to have to scrub moldy dishes.
2. You hone your competetive skills by racing to get a pile of dishes done before the washer/dryer dings.
The Top Reason to not have a dishwasher:
1. It's good prayer time. Actually this is true (as were the other reasons). Just like it says in Diapers, Pacifiers & Other Holy Things (thanks sonja!) it's a time to say, "Thanks God for scrubbing me clean just like these dishes."

Funny :-) Up until about 3 yrs. ago I didn't have one. I must say I would hate to be without it now, but I like how you've put a positive spin on not having one :-)
