Dishes...

Are very interesting things... they are so useful but so often the subject of much conflict.

Vaishali left her last dish for me to wash... she did it right in front of me of course, cheeky thing ;) It was supposed to be symbolic. If all the dishes in this world could be self-washing would all of our living problems go away? No. Perhaps only 1/4 of them. Living with other people is difficult, even family, even spouses.

But I learned something last night. The best way to deal with it sometimes is just to take a few deep breaths and leave it. Unless it's to do with some deeper unspoken problem in which case it's better to go to the root.

Poor dishes, always get blamed for the majority of household problems when they are perhaps just the symptom of larger things?

That's really true, but sometimes while living together you let the little things like this build up and make it a bigger problem...

Had to come back...reminicing...

Just kidding! 'Course I'll do mine next time! ;)
