Teenagers are stinky and they eat a lot. I know this is no revelation for millions of parents, but dude.... I had to throw in an extra plug in that room.

And, WHY for the love of god, do people put their dirty dishes in the left side of the sink? Do people WASH dishes on the left side? No. They wash them on the right side, so that they can go to the left to get rinsed and then put in the rack right away. That is why. Where ever the dish rack is...you put the dishes one sink over. You know what? I don't really care if you rinse them. What I care about is having to get my hands wet, moving your damned dishes over to the DISH side of the fucking sink, so that they can get washed. There is a side of the sink that should always be reserved to getting water for cooking, cleaning, drinking, whatever. I should not have to complete with DIRTY dishes on the sacred side of the sink. What the hell is wrong with you people. For fucks sake, quit putting the dishes in the basin BY the dish rack. Not unless you want to incur my wrath.

In other news, we met with our "little" on Saturday. Tim and I hate the lingo that Big Brother and Big Sister uses...but I don't want to confuse you with my stinky good natured younger brother. Anyway, we picked up Ty Quan on Saturday and brought him to our place where he was afraid of the dogs, but even more scared of the cats. Especially Arkham! He's the sweetest friendly cat there is too. We played basket ball, DDR, made root beer floats and then played a little dynasty warriors before we brought him back. He is one heck of a small 10 year old, and insufferably shy. We couldn't gauge whether or not he had a good time. I think yes....because he reminds me of Andrew (younger bro) when he was little...just as shy...but it turned out Andrew had a good time. SO. We have gotten wet....and not just to the ankles in our commitment.
