Spout
We're experiencing torrential downpours in this here neck of the woods. Dave and I were a bit sluggish this morning so we ended up driving Henry to school, little realizing that every other parent was doing the same thing, although their reasons for doing so probably had something to do with the rain whereas ours was born of sheer laziness. Dare to be different. Anyway, some of the roads were starting to grow pretty significant puddles. Henry informed us with great certainty that there would indeed be flooding. I don't doubt he's wrong. All of this is a lead-in to the part of the story where I tell you that with all of the rain coming down outside, I felt a bit silly turning on our dishwasher. It seems like a waste, like I should throw all of the dishes outside, squirt some dishwashing soap on them, and let Mother Nature take over. I don't think I'll be doing any laundry today.
