The family stood over the lifeless form in disbelief.
Where there had once been the clatter of plates
and an animated chatter of dinner conversation,
there was now stunned silence.
Seconds seemed like hours
until a voice piped in,
“You can play dead all you want,
but it won’t get you out of washing dishes.”

Hmmm...I may have to try that one, maybe I'll have more success!! :)
(We don't have a dishwasher, it's sure worth a try!)
dolp...yeah it did not help me either...haha...nice try...smiles.

Boy, we all sure have been there eh?
Nice slice of life 55 KP
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Yikes, that's a little brutal. If you drop them on the floor, maybe they won't make you do the dishes anymore....
Spooky...

You really did that? I wouldn't be surprised!
I'm up here.
Macabre! LOL
Ah, 'tis an inevitability, that chore ;-)
Oh, that is just too awesome. Love it!
Oh thank Heaven, Comic relief-
Whew!
Don't cry wolf too often, lest it lead to an awkward situation later.
("You're not really dead, now quit goofing around! Honey? Honey?")
Happy anniversary MM!
Love this!
Some people will do anything to get out of the dishes. Loved your domestic cupcake abuser story, also. I could do serious damage to someone with my biscuits.
Maybe let the winner out of dishes. It'll make for a nice quiet evening. LOL ;-)
I think one of my kids tried that...
Could I skip the bill-paying this month by playing dead?
No? Well, better the dishes, and the bills, than the alternative.
It's true that playing dead doesn't get the dishes clean.
I love your sense of humor.
bwahahahah, that sounds like something my sister and I would have done to my mother back in the old childhood days. How we tormented her...and she loved every crazy minute of those times.
Wonderful 55.
Haha, I like it. An excuse to try at Xmas maybe?!

Cute! I've done this trick many times....(and still do even in my adulthood!)
Hey, if I were a member of your family, I'd love to do the dishes for you. It's the chore I hate the least. :D
