My dishwasher.
My dishwasher used to be me.
Then one year, for my birthday,
long, long ago, I wanted a vacuum cleaner.
A nice one.
So, what was I given?
An electric dishwasher.
I never really appreciated it until one day,
it stopped working.
For a while,
I decided to wash my own dishes,
but they never seemed squeeky clean anymore.
So I called the handy dandy repairman,
and for a cheap part and a more expensive service call,
I was back washing my dishes “clean” again.
So,
Dishwasher it is.
Shallow as it is.
It is what it is. Needed.
.
BUT
In and Emergency
I love a man
with dishpan hands.

Dear PK…when the topic of dishwasher came up my father would always announce, “Mary has one…
pregnant pause…me.” My mother thought he was too rough with the dishes so he really never did get to wash them often, but occ. would dry,…. as long as he dried “one at a time” per my mother’s instructions because she didn’t want any chips in the dishes.

I joke all the time when the old man and I cross paths with someone at Sears, etc.. who are trying to sell us a dishwasher–which tends to be where I always end up straying off to, cause… I just laugh, tell them that the cheap-skate won’t get a new one as long as the old one still works, then wink at the old man and say…”And my hands aren’t broke yet, are they honey?”

Growing up, my job as a rule was to dry the dishes..my mother didn”t like the dishes in the drainer…not neat enough ! And people who used dishwashers were “lazy” according to Mother. No dirty dishes at bedtime, no matter how late you go to bed. ☺.
Now that I’m by myself, I wash, scald with the hottest water from the tap and dry, or leave in the drainer sometimes….but do like the dishwasher best. I have a portable dw that is a pain taking up room in my small kitchen but I went into withdrawals when I thought I could eliminate it ☺.
Thanks for the comments..

Sometimes I wished I had a dishwasher! My hands could be doing other things than standing at the sink. 🙂

Not shallow at all: faster, more efficient, timesaver.
I couldn’t live without mine.
