I called Mom the other night to check on her. She sounded out of breath. I asked if she was alright. Oh sure, she says, just cleaning up bubbles. I'm thinking: HUH? but ask instead: Bubbles from where?
Oh, from the kitchen floor, she replies.
I couldn't help myself: HUH? The FLOOR?
Yep. The floor. She says.
I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and
LOADED the dishwasher dispensers, BOTH, mind you,
TO THE BRIM,
with DAWN.
I have used every towel I own cleaning it up.
Had to go to my neighbor's to figure out what to do
to get it to stop sudsing. Put vinegar in there.
I had suds all over the kitchen, under the table and all!
(Mind you the table is about 4 FEET from the dishwasher!
She has a pretty good size kitchen.)
I couldn't help it. I snickered. Giggled. Chuckled.
Laughed. LAUGHED REALLY BIG.
Snorted. Laughed so hard I couldn't make a sound, except
WHEEZIN'! Then snorted some more. and the cycle continued.
She almost got her feelin's hurt because I was laughin so hard.
So in a high voice, amid all this snorthin, wheezin, laughin,
I tried to explain.
I'VE DONE THAT TOO!
Maybe not to the extent she did but I had
suds all over my kitchen one time and I believe have my kids!
Can you imagine if I had Peyton or the Poops there?
What fun they would have had??
Well, I'm sure I would have kackled then too! Her? Maybe. . .
not so much.
Enjoy your day and find something to Kackle about today!
Hugs to all!

Hi KaLynn. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for stopping by my photoblog and leaving a comment. I noticed your name right away as my first and middle names are "Kay Lynne".
I love this story about your mom and the bubbles.

Oh no! Your poor Mom. The mess of it all!! Just had to come by and say hi to someone my age!! LOL I'm a new follower and LOVE your blog. Thanks for visiting mine.
AND purple is my favorite color too :) Nice to meet you!
@VodkaLogic-she will be 76 this year and has been doing crazy things lately which have her really worried so I had to releave the tension in her voice!! She was actually laughing about it yesterday with me!
@Kay-Loved your blog! Glad you came by! What a kool way to connect!! by our names!!
@Jeannie-I printed your book list! I have stacks of books all over but I am always on the look out for new ones! Atleast later she was laughing about it! At first I think she was about to cry!! Good to meet you too!!
Aw, your poor mom, but I have to admit... it is funny. Bubbles everywhere. It sounds kind of fun :)
That looks fun, I'm gonna go try it right now!
Well, those dishes should be really clean with all that Dawn cleaning power. I am laughing my head off but also making a mental note to move the Dawn to a different place in my kitchen, far away from the Cascade.
Your poor mom, that's a lot of bubbles.
@Dutch Donut Girl-it is really pretty cool to watch the bubbles erupt from the dishwasher, not so cool to try to get it all cleaned up.
@Chris-only fill one dispenser partially! Not both! Twice!
@SQ-I bet they did not have one spot of grease on them! Floor neither!! My Dawn stays on the counter by the faucet! Never realized subconsciously I did it for a REASON! I thought I was just LAZY!
How terrible (and funny at the same time)! Poor Mom.
Love the new purple starry background! Looks very cool!
OMG!!! What a disaster!! One thing is for certain, she will have the cleanest floor around once she gets the bubble out of there.
Hope you have a great weekend
...at least it was a clean mess...lol
have a great weekend!
tootles,

Yep, been there, done that! It's not that funny when it happens to you, though!
Oh my goodness! That is so funny. I can't say I've done it before but my ex-husband did. Man, did it make a mess! Not fun to clean up, either.
Been there, done that! Since I don't own a dishwasher myself, I tend to make those mistakes when trying to use the new-fangled appliances at other people's homes.
