The dishwasher has been broken for a few days. No biggie, haven't generated a ton of dishes, and the little we did could be washed by hand. Since I have the day off because the temperature is somewhere between zero and -Russia, I took a gander at the damnable contraption.

Apparently, it's not well designed. The cable to the control knob doesn't so much plug in to the control assembly so much as it kind of mildly embraces the assembly. It's like the time you ran into your old girlfriend while you were with your current girlfriend, and you weren't sure if a hug was a good idea, but she did, and she's not so flat chested, and you really didn't know how bad this was going to cost you.

Well, the dishwasher didn't seem to know what it wanted to do either. Now it does.

Postscript; I also apparently live with the world's youngest teenager.

Regarding your postscript about your teenager...
Last night I was replacing a light fixture in our youngest daughter's room (she's 4). I had the electricity shut off while doing the wiring. Once it was all taken care of, I turned the power to the room back on, but told her to stay out and NOT TO TURN ON THE SWITCH TO THE LIGHT. I had one bulb removed so I could get to a screw to mount it to the ceiling. As I am fiddling with it, as it is hanging from the ceiling with the wires all out and a socket empty, she comes in, flips the switch on and off a few times real quick and laughs. I about shit my pants.
