The other week, Claire was washing up after lunch and was struggling with the big belly in front of her. The problem was that the belly was sticking out so much, that she was actually standing further away from the sink, meaning she was reaching over.
I happened to walk into the kitchen to see she was struggling with this, complaining that she couldn’t do the washing up properly. She explained about the hindering baby-bump against the worktop in front of the sink, and that’s when I knew what I had to do.
Introducing the answer to the problem… the Yellow Pages! Not in the sense of using it to buy a dishwasher, or calling someone up to get them in or anything like that. No. For her to stand on, of course!
The extra couple of inches in height gave Claire the ability to simply stand just that little taller, meaning that she could rest her bump on the edge of the sink. This, in turn, means that she can stand closer to the sink, continuing the job at hand!
And before you start thinking that I make my heavily pregnant wife do the dishes, I don’t. In fact, trying to stop her doing it is the tricky bit!
