We're Not Amish

So the dishwasher broke (cuz, you know, SSA paid me). I ask Gregory to do the dishes. He says, "I can't. The dishwasher is broken."

Sigh...

So I say, "Fill the sink with hot water and soap and do them by hand."

The child looks at me like I've lost my mind and says, "But we're not Amish!"
