When you're doing the dishes, do you like to use liquid more than the paste?

rogen_andrei @rogen_andrei (638) • Philippines 22 Mar 07

When we were young, my brother and I took turns in washing the dishes after eating.. :P and my mom had to buy both dishwashing paste and liquid as I prefer using the liquid while my brother wanted to have the dishwashing paste.....

laurabeth I think it depends on who you are, and who your parents are etc. Personally if my husband had listened to his mom we probably wouldn't be married. She hates me because I didn't want to stay living in her house or in that town. She loved me until we moved...
