Random Memory

I was washing the dishes today when I was reminded of a time way back when I was a teenager. I had made cookies on a whim and left all the dishes out on the counter. My mom kindly asked me the next morning to take care of the dirty dishes. I told her I'd get to it later. She neatly stacked all the dirty dishes in the sink where they waited for me to "get to it later". Later I noticed the dishes stacked in the sink but being the lazy teenager that I was I ignored them and went on my merry way. That evening they were still in the sink waiting for me to clean and my mom gently reminded me of them. Still I put it off. I'm sure this whole time my mom was probably so annoyed by them, for as a mother your kitchen is your domain. Sadly to say I selfishly never washed those dishes. I'm sure my mom very begrudgingly ended up washing them for me. Sorry mom!

What a random memory! I bet that happened a time or two to my mom as well!

I'll get random memories, mostly at night, of things I wish I didn't do when I was younger. But I am not brave enough to admit them.
