Sam,
You have such a servant's heart that is so evident in your eagerness to help with just about everything. From helping your daddy work on the lawn mower or cut limbs to helping me sweep and wash dishes, you're right there in the middle of it. "No job too big" seems to be your motto.
Your efforts and help do not go unnoticed or unappreciated by your daddy and me, but there are some tips about washing dishes that I feel compelled to pass along to you.
First, the point of washing dishes is to get the dishes clean, not to get water onto as many surfaces as possible. While we're on the subject of water...you seem to think that unless your shirt is soaking wet, no one will believe you just cleaned the kitchen. This is not the case; the empty sink and clean counters are testament to your hard work.
Second, after I wash and rinse a dish, there's no need for you to sneak it back into the dishwater. I assure you that I scrubbed it hard enough the first time.
Third, I was okay with you wanting to wash a previously used straw of yours. However, I must draw the line at you using a straw to drink the dishwater, especially after that dishwater has already had a load of dirty dishes pass through it. Drinking dishwater has nothing to do with cleaning the dishes.
There you have it--my best tips at how to improve your dish washing skills. We'll see tomorrow if these prove helpful ;).
As always, love your totally cool and awesome, Mama
