#19: The Long Sleeve Hack
This household rule is oddly specific but makes a strange kind of perfect sense. Someone shared that their mom has a very specific rule in her house when it comes to doing the dishes. If someone is wearing a long-sleeve shirt, they are exempt from doing the dishes. Yes, this is a real rule that our storyteller’s mom enforces!
This rule is actually extremely kind. There is nothing worse than washing the dishes only to have your long-sleeve roll down your arm and get wet. This can be especially awful if you have sensory issues. As long as no one takes advantage of the rule, we guess it’s a good one. This person’s mom must have a lot of good faith. Or maybe she magically started wearing long-sleeve shirts all the time…
