Duh....

We recently had a new dishwasher installed in our kitchen. The old one was never used by us, except as place to keep our phone books and paper plates. Anyway, I asked Lauren to clear the table after dinner and load the dishwasher for me. Well, later I went to run it before I went to bed and thought to take a peek inside. Good thing too. That girl had put the dishes in with all the food still on them. I'm not talking about stuck on food. I'm talking about piles of greens beans and apple sauce. The next day when asked about this she said, "Oh...I thought it was a disposal too". " If you have to get the food off first, then why even use the dishwasher?" Duh.....
