Dish washing is Dangerous. Blogging with Bruises.

I have nothing deeply profound to blog about but since it is hight time I posted a new blog I have opted to go to the funny side. And what can be more fun than laughing at yourself?
Funny little ditty and it starts like this:

Washing dishes so I can get to bed finally!
I drop a dish due to my hands that are wet and soapy.
I whip around with a Kung-Fu move I'll call "grabby"
Suddenly I hit water on the floor and the rest is taken over by gravity.

My Crocs fail me, I slide and start to go down
first the bang of the knee, next the hand jams to the ground.
Finally the head bangs. Yes, the forehead not the crown.
I stop after ricochetting like a grain of rice in Chinatown.

Grateful that noone was there to witness the horror!
Something in between a cry and a laugh is all I can muster
as I hobble to investigate my head in the nearest mirror.
No blood but some bruises; I've always known washing dishes held danger!!

At least I have a good story now, and I can tell my mom that I was right to not want to wash the dishes as a child :)

  3. Hi Jana! We met at the pre-field orientation in August. For the past three months I've worked on an ebook inspired by the conversation we had that day. Please fill out this form so I can tell you and others all about Money Management for Cross-Cultural Workers over the next couple weeks!
    Thanks, Ryan
