or does she? maybe she just fooled me into thinking she knows best...

there were things that my mother told me to do growing up that i thought were ridiculous. for example, she would nag at me when i washed dishes and i didn't put the knives in the drying rack, blade end up. she insisted that they dried better that way, and would come around after my dad or i did dishes and changed them all so the blade was up. why mommy? would they really dry faster? if so, how much faster could they possibly dry? i thought she was positively crazy.

fast forward 10 years to now. i just got a new knife set since andrea took hers with her. there i was washing dishes and i started to realize that i was taking great care to let the knife dry blade side up. and then, i did the unthinkable and flipped the knives khalid had washed so they, too, could dry blade side up. what is this behavior? there is no logic behind it! and i bet i'm going to tell my kids to dry their knives that way too, and they're going to think i'm just as crazy as i think my mom is.
