In, Kris, IN!

For the love of god, husband, put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

If the dishwasher is full of clean dishes, put them away, then put your dirty dish into the dishwasher.

If it's full of dirty dishes, start the wash cycle.

I don't think I quite understood the unbridled joy my mom experienced when she finally trained us kids to put our dishes in the dishwasher instead of just the sink.

That is, until now.
