At Least She Isn’t Dish(onest)

(My 15-year-old daughter has the dishwasher open, and is pulling dishes out. Normally she won’t put anything away unless she’s been told.)

Me: “Did I tell you to put away the dishes?”

Daughter: “No.”

Me: “Well, thank you! That’s very sweet of you!”

(She freezes and stares at me. I then notice there’s a pack of ramen on the counter, and the pan she uses for ramen is in the dishwasher.)

Me: “Were you going to get out your ramen pan, and just shove the rest back into the dishwasher?”

Daughter: “Well, I was. Now you’ve gone and made it all awkward!”
