- I’ve learned that I should have appreciated my dishwasher more. I’m so sorry, dear Frigidaire.
- It turns out paper plates aren’t as bad for the environment as I’d once thought.
- I’ve learned the phone numbers to the closest pizza joint and Chinese food restaurant.
- I’ve learned that putting a semi-dirty dish into a sink full of dirty dishes makes for a much grosser semi-dirty dish. It may sound silly, but this has been an important lesson for me, and it took several rounds for me to learn this: don’t put the water glass into the sink after a spaghetti supper.
- I’ve learned that it’s just food. Back when I used to have a dishwasher, I used to treat the slimeys and crustys as if they would infect me with some incurable disease. Now that I have to get a bit more personal with said slimeys and crustys, they’re not so bad. It’s just this morning’s Mini-Wheats saturated into a solid goo. It’s just last night’s late night popcorn butter bowl. It won’t hurt me! I’ve become brave!
- This is a big one, and Aunt Rita, please don’t read this, as I don’t want you to fall out of your chair, but it turns out that the world will not end if you go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.
- I’ve also learned that it really stinks (sometimes literally) to face the task of making breakfast with no clean dishes.
- I’ve realized that my old dishwasher used a lot of electricity. And water. Both bills have gone down since the accident.
- I’ve also learned that I don’t really care about number 8.
- And finally, I’ve learned that I really, really need a new dishwasher.
