> An HOUR? To do the dishes? That seems like an enormous consumption of time You will note that I said "less than an hour", which in my life basically equates to "a trivial amount of time". Most days it's probably closer to a half hour. It's also a fairly leisurely process of me listening to whatever they are talking about on the radio. When the kids are bigger, I'm sure we'll teach them how to do the dishes and other chores around the house. For now, our oldest just turned four and is probably approaching big enough to grasp the concepts, but doesn't really have the attention span to see it through to the end.
