OMG Renter washed his dishes twice today.. He was making lunch for his g/f and we were talking. For whatever reason, my voice was "softer" today.. And I forget exactly what all was said. He asked if he could use our plates and I said sure, as long as you clean up. And if you don't I know where to put the dishes. He smiled and said yes, he learned his lesson.. I then said, asking him to wash his dishes isn't that I am punishing him. I said I'm not here to punish or hurt you. Just would like you to be considerate and clean up after himself.

SO low and behold, he washed his lunch and dinner dishes.. WOW,, I am pleased..
