Millions of Bubbles

Millions of Bubbles

Thought I'd share my latest caper.

I was helping Greg move into his new house last Thursday evening. His mom had gotten his house a set of dishes so that in the event they eat something besides cup-of-noodles they will have something to eat on. I unpacked the dishes and set to work cleaning them while Greg went back to his dorm room to get more stuff. Greg's house is pretty new so it has a dishwasher. I figured I would take advantage of that and the night of free electricity and let the dishwasher do the work while I did some other things around the house. Didn't have any dishwasher soap so I just put some plain ol' liquid dish soap in. I read on the bottle "concentrated" so I put in enough soap to cover the bottom of both little cup things. Apparently that was too much because when I came back to the kitchen about 10 minutes later water and bubbles were pouring out of the dishwasher into Greg's new kitchen.

Fortunately, Greg hadn't made it over with the towels yet so the only thing standing between the small lake in Greg's kitchen and the wall was me. I took my flip flops off and began pushing back the water and suds back toward the dishwasher with a flip flop in one hand and dialed the phone with the other. I told Greg to bring some towels with him. Silly boy shows up about 20 minutes later with 1 towel. I sheepishly told him, "Well, the good news is the dishes and your floor are clean. The bad news is there's a lake in your kitchen. Want to go swimming in it?" Thankfully, Greg was very amused so we got a good laugh while we soaked up the water and bubbles with his 1 towel and a few extras in his laundry hamper.

I am so thankful that Greg could laugh at the situation with me. I would have just died if he got upset. Greg, you're a keeper!
