It's OK...To Say Good Bye

---

This husband of mine…

Shared the fact…that it’s ok to throw away a dish cloth…when it gets stinky…

Not a rocket scientist…but this old gal…could have figured this out…on her own…but there’s something about tossing the dish cloth…even when it’s obviously reached the end of the line…it’s like…surely…there’s one more wash left in the poor ragged thing…

Have no problem dropping ten bucks at Casey’s…for Gummy Bears and a drink…but pay the same for new dish cloths at Walmart…once every ten years…

It’s a travesty…

Taking suggestions like a big girl…tossed several ratty things…in the trash…even skipped the rag box…just to prove a point…it was time…to give Glowing Boy…his day in the suds…Glowing Boy has been in the drawer…for years…never been used…always bypassed…for Mr. Stinky…

Glowing boy soaks up the water…scrubs like a king…smells dandy…this old gal admiring the new cloth…yet can’t help but think…

Why…why would anyone…make a white dish cloth…and just as quickly as that thought swirled around the hollow head…Sassy pants me…retorted in thought…who would be dumb enough…

To BUY a white dish cloth…

So Glowing Boy…got his day in the suds…beautiful as ever…until chili dishes hit the sink…the glow…is no more…but at least…he doesn’t stink…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
