....I should be doin' laundry, or dishes, or cleaning, or cooking, or sewing, or teaching the children or reading the Bible, or any number of other things. I always have these grand ideas and plans, yet somehow, someway, I always end up doing what I shouldn't.
My mom loved to "conveniently" place permanent markers about the buffet area so that we could mark our red cups. Oh how I was tempted to do just that last weekend at son's graduation party. I literally felt my sainted mother pushing me to do the same. I absolutely cannot throw away a plastic plate or bowl without feeling my mother's "that can be washed" glance.
Rebekah - if I'm ever at anyone's house and they wash the plastic cups, I gladly do it. However, anyone at my house can joyfully toss them in the circular file.
Anon - yes the permanent marker is a frequent companion to the plastic cup. It is found quite often at graduation parties and family gatherings. I understand completely why. And I am quite alright with its use. But at the end of the day - those plastic glasses are hitting the trash can. :-)
