It is ALIVE!!!  I just posted yesterday’s blog and my brother walked in the door.  Without skipping a beat he says to me, “Mom’s gonna be pissed you curled her wallpaper.” *sigh*

All it took was a jiggle and a slight bang with the fist and the dishwasher was open.  He then gently closed it and started the wash cycle.  “I do not know why you all insist on kicking this machine closed.  It closes just fine for me.”  I glare at him.

He sticks around to make sure it is actually working and when his visit passes the 1.5 hour mark and the dishwasher is still in the wash cycle – steam spouting and all – he says, “Maybe this is how long it takes for a hot wash.” (Read my similar sentiment in yesterday’s post).  We both decided that during the life of this machine in this house it has never been programmed to wash a dish in super heated water and it is likely this is also the first time the dishes have been steam sanitized.  We are encouraged.

About this time we both are feeling pretty good.  My brother grabs his coat to leave and on his way out the door turns back and says, “Mom’s still gonna be pissed you curled her wallpaper.”  *brothers*
