how did you know?

My dishwasher died. It's part of home ownership: stuff quits working, you have to go buy new stuff. (un)Fortunately the dishwasher died right around mother's day.

So I told my mom that I had to get her a new dishwasher for mother's day. She said she already had a dishwasher. I said, "but you don't have one here!"

It was a generous gift, but I think she was worth it. Also she thought it was funny.
