| Dirty Dishes |
Years ago I worked as a counselor in a home for developmentally disabled adults. Repetition in everyday chores was the key in helping them to function to the best of their ability.
There was one resident in particular I will never forget. His name was Jerry. Jerry loved big band music and big buses. He could listen to John Phillips Sousa all day long. Every Saturday he would ride the Greyhound to the next town for lunch.
Jerry on the other hand, hated doing laundry and washing dishes. He hated them because as he said “They just keep coming back!” That phrase has stuck with me for 30 years. I agree with Jerry 100 percent. No matter how often I do laundry and dishes – they just keep coming back!
