I don’t do dishes….. until

There is something I don’t do. I don’t do dishes.

I have been married for almost twenty five years. Being the head of the family over these years there is one thing that is understood, I don’t do dishes. I am very handy at mechanal things. Minor plumbing, electrical, landscaping is a challenge but I get it done. I change brakes, tune-ups on the cars…. I paint and remodel our bathrooms…. but I don’t do dishes. At the turn of the year I decided out of the blue to step up the the plates literally after years of never making this chore list. I voluntarily took the place of who ever turn it was and stood before everyone’s dirty plate and washed each until it was clean.

What I recognized as my adult children looked at me as though I bumped my head real hard. I really believe they believe there may have been a brain trauma as minute by minite they looked at me as though I had two heads. I must say that the response by each one made me feel accomplished to the point wherein I asked to join the schedule. I felt more like the big man joining the dish crew more than shoveling the front yard during a snowstorm.

Hey guys, do something that will suprise your whole family… I realize that I really dont do dishes… I do family.
