Dishes, truely a Family thing!
Tonight we had a truly memorable dishes. It was crazy. First off there were not enough people and were very close to asking the 3 year olds to help, but thankfully we got things straightened out. Relief? No! 60 seconds into dishes the entire water reservoir of the kitchen collapsed, leaving us in nose deep water!! Anyways, fill in the blanks.
Dishes is something engrained in us Family members, especially those in large homes. I have been in large homes all my life and dishes has always been right there, smack after dinner or lunch or earlier on in my glittering dishes career – breakfast. I recall fond memories of dishes at a very young age, our teacher jokingly coming around with a Swiss knife magnifying lens looking for the dirt we left behind. As I grew things changed, soon dishes meant a chance alone with my childhood sweetheart in the pantry. Just me, her … and the sugar barrel to snitch from. Yes, I know it’s horrid, but I snitched sugar, and have been sweet since … err, sweet TOOTH. And yeah, as I got older there were other things: International water fight competitions, “Cha Cha with a dish”, broom jousting, and also lonely dish times brought on by my folly in which my friends would still sneak to help me, even if they weren’t supposed to, yes, true friendship that was.
So yeah, dishes has a sentimental value to me and when I go away from home to … less populated areas, I dare say I miss them.
But I have to explain why! Why do I miss them? Well because of the advancement of dishes today into a true social event that is marked as an important part of the schedule. Dishes isn’t just to get the dishes clean, it’s so much more, here’s is it put into points.
MUSIC
Dishes means music. Music inspires. Inspiration creates. Therefore you will find dishes can create the most amazing inspirations: dance numbers worthy of Broadway, rewriting of songs to perfection, off key singing so off key it actually becomes on key … err, that doesn’t make sense. But yes, all to say, music is a big ingredient of dishes, without it there is boring silence and the occasional hum of “… that one was dirty.”
TALK
Dishes often becomes a web of elaborate conversations, all happening at the same time and sharing from each conversations elaborateness. For example the kitchen dude is talking with the dishwashers, the kitchenette Madam catches wind and shares some with the dinning room monsieur, and before you know it we are all discussing great ideals, exploring facts and fictions, it’s like it’s like … CONGRESS!!
CHARACTER
The dish team is as important as anything else. The names on the dish team may determine whether your evening is up, down or sideways. A good team is made up of good character and if you have a good team and a good atmosphere, one who may once have been blue will certainly be transformed!
AND WHAT ELSE?
That’s all I am willing to explore about dishes today, but why stop. You tell me your feelings of this entity of our lives that brings us all together.
… But don’t splash me while you’re at it, I may splash back!!
