Ever wash dishes in the bathtub?

After a large party (or a month's neglect), it struck me that this might prove useful and fun (or at least different enough to amuse).

    Yep, The plumber couldn't get out to my house for a few days. With so many kids in my brood, I had no choice, but to wash dishes in the tub. I found it un-amusing to have to wash my dishes in the tub, cuz the bloody plumber couldn't (wouldn't) come out when we needed him to.

    When my parents married, they lived in a tiny loft in Greenwich Village --with no kitchen. My mother used to do the dishes in the tub. Years later, we lived in a big house in California while it was being built. Since the kitchen wasn't yet finished, again my mother was washing dishes in the tub --and my father joked "I always told you that I'd get you a better tub to wash the dishes in!" ha
    (yeah, that was in an era when that kind of thing was "womens' work.")

    What's really fun is doing laundry in the tub. I just get in there and jump around with dance music playing and have a real good time. It's kind of like smashing grapes for wine in the old days, but it's dirty clothes instead.

      I washed dishes in the (clothes-) washing machine once... Mostly plastic and mostly reuseable (as in reduce-reuse-recycle) stuff, so it either didn't break or didn't matter much to me if it did.

      It was more trouble than it was worth.
