I’m doin’ the dishes for Leah.

No, Leah was not going to do the dishes;
I am doing the dishes because
Leah wants me to make her pancakes,
But I only have enough dishes for myself;
So I am doing my own dishes so
Leah may eat off of a clean plate.

If I were cooking only for me,
I would not bother to clean the dishes!
…
As I scrubbed my little, bluestone plate,
I thought of her-
How she said she never does dishes.

Leah eats finger food-
she even plucks sizzling, steaming onions
from the pan while they’re still cooking!
With her bare hands,
she slurps them down
in second-degree-tongue-burning style!
