You may not have any dirty dishes at that time of night but who cares. The last times Roger, George or Frank volunteered to clean up a messy kitchen was when their chemistry experiment exploded inside your blender back in 1977. Chances are some of you parents looked under a few beds for stray spoons and probed your son's backpack for a dirty knife just 10 get the pleasure of watching your macho son do a little manual labor. And he wanted to do it. Will miracles never cease? Actually everything isn't goodness and light in football. American Fork and Pleasant Grove played each other Wednesday Wed-nesday after this paper went to-press. to-press. So players for one team washed dishes Wednesday night because they wanted to and the players for the other team washed dishes at the same time because they had to. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fortunately, I didn't know the outcome of the game when this was written. Otherwise I'm sure some dirty dishes would be waiting for me. |
