Seriously, though...my wife is always making ADD jokes because our children are so distracted. The funny thing is that I could actually picture someone sitting at the sink DOING this! Crazy.

I wasn't allowed to do dishes in my Home Ec class b/c I would get totally distracted by the sprayer, and everything would get soaked. Sure, the dishes got cleaned, eventually. Maybe if they let me smoke pot for my ADHD, I would have been better.

I got banned from doing dishes when I put a rubberband around the sprayer attachment. I got them good, oh yeah.

Probably the funniest article opener I've ever seen on Giz.

I'd say because it hits too close to home.

Back to work.. . . . . . ?

This would be major trouble for me when doing dishes. This article, and the ensuing comments, remind me of a t-shirt that I saw on Bustedtees that they've sadly discontinued: "I never finish anythi"
