so says dd1 (7, fgs) after she put one in there 'because she thought it was something dirty and the dishwasher was nearest'

[there is no emoticon to describe this]

and yes it did go through the entire cycle

Lol.

You know that you are going to have to do a sign don't you?

BrothelSprouts · 15/03/2008 18:45

Oh dear god!

That's obviously why dishwashers need salt!

god we were good parents

she came to see what was the matter I was screaming

"It was my fault mummy I put it in there"

I was so calm and lovely I even gave her a sticker for being honest

I looked through the 'Good homework' and 'Well read' and 'Good eating' and eventually chose a yellow sticker with a tick on it

there was no 'i was a good girl and fessed up to moving a slug' sticker available

And well done for her being honest. DS2 (8) would have lied.

thank god you posted this

keepcalmandcarryon · 15/03/2008 20:18

this was a brilliant post capp, thanks so much. at giving her a sticker!!!!

there is no way you can think of all the things they shouldn't do, is there? In similar situations I tell my DC's not to throw fruit at the computer, from the Michael Rosen poem they really laugh at.
