Be sure your dirty dishes will find you out

Last night as we were getting ready for our high school home team to come over I realized my dishwasher was full. It had been run and they were all clean but I didn't have time to unload it. So I remembered my friend Julie once telling me about someone she knew who filled the oven will dirty dishes once for a party. I decided to try it thinking that none of them would ever be the wiser. It was going great until one of them said "why is the baby's bottle in the oven?" Then she opened the oven and saw the rest of the dirty dishes. I admitted right then and there what I had done and we all had a good laugh! Next time I guess I'll have to use the pantry or a cupboard!!

So have you ever hidden dirty dishes as a desperate measure?

funny!! Actually, I just say, "excuse the dishes," and don't give it another thought. there's always dishes in that sink! If in fact the sink were empty, it'd be more like me to point it out and say LOOK! NO DIRTY DISHES!!! YEA, ME!

(That's a pathetic testimony to my domestic abilities, I know)

No I have never tried to hide dirty dishes. I don't see the point in it. I just let people know if they should happen to drop by that I have a mess. And if they are put off by it then they should learn to call ahead first! Plus washing dishes SUCKS! so I usually have some dishes in the sink LOL!
