There is a time when things that we liked so much are not a big fun as they used to be, like washing the dishes after Friday supper. Here it is still fun.
That is cute, in the best way. I wash dishes in the Israeli way - individually. My Israeli girlfriends were impressed with this, but my British peers do not understand. Hygiene eh?
I always avoided dish washing, and drying, as a child, but now ... three times a day I stand at the sink and wash dishes, but place them on a rack to dry. I think it is more hygienic to drain dry them [well that is my story!]. It is lovely to see the little ones not avoiding that chore.
I very rarely wash dishes as my wife puts everything in the dish washer. However, when she's away I actually quite enjoy it. I only use one of everything, never allowing things to pile up, and either sing or whistle as I do so. I should also add that I have no idea how the machine works.
P washes up every night although we have a dishwasher. He seems to enjoy it so I have long since given up saying anything. I think he does it in the TS way, very thorough. I didn't know it had anything to do with Israel. P also does not know how the machine works.
I was thinking of more things in our world that stop being fun as we grow up, washing dishes is one of them,(for some of us it is stil fun as i see and know from my own life:)
I can't remember ever helping my mother to wash or dry the dishes, but maybe she was afraid that I'd break them. Our dishes go in the dishwasher, but I still seem to wash quite a few things by hand. Unfortunately I don't have a lovely little girl to help me.
How cute, and very attentive with her chore too. Her hair is beautiful! Washing dishes is like a game at that age, isn't it. Italians also rinse the dishes individually under running water. Double sinks. Greetings Maria x
Growing up it was a daily chore for the children and now that I am retired I have started doing it again as your dear granddaughter is seen here. It almost feels therapeutic.
I have always despised doing dishes. I don't even like loading/unloading the dishwasher. Sad, isn't it?! My grandmother said I come by it honestly though, my dad always hated doing dishes too!
I wash the dishes all day long . After I make something, I compulsively wash up immediately. When my wife cooks, I clean up the kitchen afterwards. Been doing that for 32 years now.

ReplyDeleteI remember you mentioned it sometime, I did not know that it is the Israli way until I saw how they wash the dishes in Germany 30 years ago...
DeleteA sweet picture. :)
ReplyDeleteI think anything kids do to help while standing on a shrafraf is fun for them and for us.
Shabbat shalom, Yael.
Shabat Shalom Dina. I also use the shrafraf from time to time,some thing are taller than they use to be or may be i am getting shorter,,
ReplyDeleteHaha, same with me!
DeleteI remember sitting on the counter drying, as my mother handed me the washed dishes. That was very long ago--1946, I'd judge.
ReplyDeleteI did the same also long ago, Joanne.

DeleteI like P more and more.
DeleteThat is a lovely photo! And yes: to be 'houseproud' can give you a warm feeling (if it isn't overdone).

I shawed her today that people from all over the world like what she is doing,she was so happy.
DeleteLovely photo. Am I right that in Orthodox homes you might even have two kitchens? Lesley
ReplyDeleteWe are not Orthodox Lesley, but you are right, they are doing so not to mix meat and milk as they believe is forbiden.

ReplyDeleteThank you Maria,so we have to tell TS that it is not the israeli way, also the Italians/

ReplyDeleteI have always despised doing dishes. I don't even like loading/unloading the dishwasher. Sad, isn't it?! My grandmother said I come by it honestly though, my dad always hated doing dishes too!
ReplyDeleteBut you are good in many other things Jennifer.
DeleteOh, as for me, the greatest fun was vacuuming. I still like it to do alone creating some stories.
ReplyDeleteVacuuming is also one of the things thst children like.
