I was getting my camera bag and gear ready to leave for a senior session, when I walked into the kitchen to grab my car keys. You can imagine my surprise when Katie was looking at me and saying, "Mommy, there is soap all over the kitchen!". She wasn't kidding. What I couldn't believe is that this actually happened while Jerome was home.....that never happens, usually stuff like this happens when he leaves. I ran outside, motioned to Jerome who was on the lawnmower cutting our much needed to be cut grass, to come in side and hurry. We grabbed a bucket and mop and started cleaning up some of the water and suds that were ALL OVER the kitchen floor.
I had to leave for the session and I didn't want to be late. Jerome however, he got to stay home and clean all the suds in the kitchen up while I was gone. We asked Natalie (who's chore today was to load the dishwasher) how much soap she used. Then that is when she looked at us and said, "OOPS, I used Joy instead of Cascade!".
Jerome - Did you fill both cups up?
Natalie - Yes.
Jerome - There sure is a lot of soap suds.
Natalie - Well, I filled the cups up and started the dishwasher and then went to Robert and Kathy's (our neighbors house). And then I got to thinking that maybe I didn't put enough soap in there, so I came back home and added more soap.
I think she filled it up plenty, don't you?
When I came home from the senior session Jerome was in the kitchen with a beach towel in front of the dishwasher and a bucket, still pulling out suds from the dishwasher. He looked up at me and smiled and said, "I don't think these dishes have ever been this clean".
He had to run the dishwasher several times until the soap suds would build up and then he would have to scoop them out. I laughed when he told me that the kitchen floor needed mopped anyway.
What an evening, I'm just glad that for once something happened while he was here (and kind of glad that I had a session to escape too, lol!).
