After returned home from my Cub Scout den meeting, I sat down to unwind from the ordeal to hear the Wife say “I’m going to start washing the dishes by hand.” It was delivered in a calm, sincere manner.
Any husband out there should instantly recognize this statement for what it is: a threat. Allow me to translate the above: “I’m tired of the stench from the dishwasher. Fix it, or I’m buying a new one tomorrow.”
So, having spent the better part of 2 hours disassembling the dishwasher in search of “The Source” last night, I can honestly say, should there be a next time, I’ll seriously consider giving in to that threat.
