The last time I counted I had 4 children and 1 husband. Now I am no math genius but my math says that makes 6. Six people in one house. So if my math is correct then something is wrong. You see, I counted up my dishes the other day before I washed them and these are the numbers I got.
14 glasses
10 plates
7 bowls
8 spoons
9 forks
7 knives
So by my calculations this is what we should be using in a single meal...
6 glasses
6 plates
6 bowls
6 spoons
6 forks
4 knives (Rebekah and Michael don't use knives)
Leaving us with...
8 glasses
4 plates
1 bowl
2 spoons
3 forks
3 knives
So again I am no math genius but something seems to be wrong here. How can we, a family of 6, after just one meal end up with 21 extra items dirty? Do dirty dishes breed? Do dirty dishes hide themselves and then reveal their whereabouts at the most inconvenient time? Or is it possible, just possible that my children are getting extra dishes out and not using the ones they have? By Jove I think that's it!!

Sorry, but I HAVE to. First, I didn't know you used bowels to eat with, and second, if you had to wash them, I would never wash them with my dishes, dirty or not!
You should just start making them do the dishes, then you would end up with 2 glasses, 2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 spoons, 2 forks, 2 knives and 4 dirty children because they would be eating with their hands!
