We've had one or two instances too many where someone (ahem... Derek) started putting dirty dishes into the dishwasher before the clean ones have been removed. So to help alleviate this problem I devised a new plan. Whenever there were dirty dishes in washer there we would put a green magnet on the front of the machine to tell us that it was okay to "go" ahead and put more dishes in. When it was full and turned on we would put a red magnet on it to tell us to "stop" and not put in anymore until the clean ones were removed. Once removed we would switch back to the green magnet. I had to explain the plan to Derek a few times because he kept forgetting to use the magnets.
I guess it finally sunk in because when I went into the kitchen tonight I saw this. Derek had made a little face out of lots of little magnets. Notice the frown. "He" is frowning because he's full of dirty dishes. I laughed so hard. I don't have the heart to take them down. But at least it gives me a new canvas for all my little magnets. The fridge can only handle so many!
