Inspecting the work of our family dishwashers (i.e. children), I usually only have one piece of feedback.  “Gravity.”

Yes, use gravity.  This applies especially toward cups holding water in the drain rack.  Yes, gravity is a wonder.  Pour out the water, turn the cup upside down, and watch gravity work its drying magic.

So listening to the boys, while they washed dishes this evening, I should not have been surprised to hear them mumbling a single word.  “Gravity.”

Soon, the dishes were complete and the boys scurried off.  I headed over to the sink for my nightly inspection.

Seeing something not up to par, I summoned the boys back to the kitchen.  Pointing at the sink full of dirty water, I reached in, pulled the stopper, glanced at them with a smile, and said a single word, “Gravity.”
