So our dishwasher broke the other month.
I thought it simply needed a good cleaning, so I took out the wracks, got on my hands and knees, and scrubbed out as much grime as I could reach. Then I turned it onto the clean cycle.
No dice.
Instead of getting clean, smoke came flying out of the machine.
Guess what that means? Yup, I’m washing dishes by hand!
Normally, I make dinner and listen to NPR, call and chat with a friend or my sister, or turn on my YouTube playlist while I wash the dishes. But last week, I decided to do something different.
I listened to Chondra Pierce.
Oh.My.Word! She’s hilarious!
I laughed so hard and almost burned a few dinners while listening to her. And instead of grumbling while washing the evidence that my family is well fed, I laughed and left the kitchen feeling joyful, energized and ready to be present with my family.
So tell me. What other comedians/comediennes should I add to my dish duty playlist?
