Gag List


Every morning the kids have to all empty the dishwasher as one of their morning chores. They rotate between 3 positions.
.
Position 1: put all silverware away.
Position 2: Pass dishes from dishwasher to "counter person"
Position 3: Counter person stands on the counter and the " Emptier person" hands them the dishes.
.
It is a set up that has worked for us for quite awhile now. Hunter HATES position 2. He has a very weak stomach. Every thing makes him gag. To list a few...
-When we decorated Easter eggs the smell of the hard boiled eggs...gag
-Anytime he has to throw something away in the garbage and it isn't so rosy smelling...gag
-When he has to feed the dog and gets a whiff...gag.
-White macaroni....gag.
.
So to add to his gag list is the smell of the dishwasher, when it is clean. (He'd probably throw up if he smelt it when it is dirty) So that he can continue in his chores when he is in position 2 without gagging, I suit him up with rubber gloves and an towel strapped over his nose so he can't smell.
I don't think he will be going into the medical profession.

Hunter looks like the dishwasher bandit. I like the three position teamwork - it shows promise for entreprenurial manufacturing.

Love ya all
