Professional Dishwasher

So listen, you can go to school, get into and graduate from a good college, mortgage your life away for tuition payments, good luck to you.

Or you can simply reach in your pocket, get out a $20 and hand it to me. And with that I will let you learn a trade tool you will never need to be without, and friend Pax here will be your teacher and will take you to school... on how to wash dishes.

Apparently the first thing you have to do is strip down to your underwear. And sitting on the edge of the sink with your feet in it also makes the process not only go more smoothly, but your dishes will be cleaner.

Now I know what you're thinking - "Fin, I'm following but I'm not. Why am I paying YOU the $20?" Great question. Just think of me as the University. Now stop asking questions and pay attention. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.

Chocolate Chip Dishcookies

Okay, so I know I've already told you about Mae and doing the dishes, and you've already seen pictures. Well, it's so stinkin cute you're going to see some more.

The other night Mom and I made cookies and Mae took it upon herself to belly up to the bar (funny, because sometimes Dad calls Mae "belly" - it's a spin-off from Mabel... Bel... Belly). Anyway, Belly bellied up to the bar (or the sink) and got her dishwashing on.

Yes, I know that is her Blackhawks shirt - don't act so surprised.

And when we were done with the cookies and she was done doing dishes, well, she got herself a little reward.

A post dedicated entirely to Mabel... I'm such a giver.
