…possess it if you can. Seldom found in women and never in a man.
At least that was the way the proverb was repeated in our household when I was growing up. In the case of my home now- I don’t think it’s true, we need to reverse it. Although then it doesn’t have the pleasant rhyme, unless of course one rewrites it as: always in a Scott and never in an Anne (apologies to all other Annes).
For those of you who know, my husband several weeks ago finally committed to purchasing “the” dishwasher. It was a long process. One I’ve watched for a while – I’d rather not put a time frame on it – at the risk of losing my favourite reader. It was a while (while = months). But as we all know good things come to those who wait.
He had been very deliberate about the process. If you are thinking about buying a dishwasher I’m pretty sure he could hook you up with the results of his research.
We have it, it is installed, it is hooked up and as I write — it is running!
And yes, in case you are wondering, we’ve already had our first loading of the dishwasher disagreement!
I JUST saw a movie where that proverb was quoted and remembered your blog post. Fireflies in the Garden.
