Birds Shouldn't Wash Dishes, Anyway
As I mentioned in a previous post, Susie is the world's most inefficient dishwasher. This is primarily due to the fact that she loses herself in both thought and chatter, and dishwashing takes a distinct third place. I'll watch her from another room as she stares out the window for five minutes, all the while washing the same two dishes. I took these pictures unbeknownst to her one day while she was washing away, probably in her second hour or so.
Susie, out of the blue and sounding slightly disheartened:
"If there were a contest for fast dish-washing, I think I would probably lose."
And, then, three minutes later, during which time she had washed perhaps one dish:
"Who do you think would win in a fight-- Usagi Yojimbo or Popeye?"
She then sat and thought about this for several minutes before following it up with another question:
"Mama, why am I so slow?"
Why, indeed.
Oh, how I love her.
