I repent in sack cloth and bitter ashes

uberreinigerRecently I said some unkind things about T.H. White's novel "The Once and Future King." I report now that I have persisted in reading it and have discovered that my judgment was flawed and I was wrong to dismiss it's brilliance so casually. Read this novel. Mea Culpa.
I'm off to do dishes. Because my father just groaned about how he has to do dishes. My father has never asked me to do a thing in my life. His way of asking is lament how he must do something or start doing it, making disgusted noises at the effort of it all the way until you get up and offer to help at which point he refuses at least three times (a fine samurai he would have made, indeed,) then sighs and lets you do it. This disgusts me and always has and he has yet to figure out that I detest it and more often than not will deliberately not play along with it and continue to sit on my lazy ass out of spite. I don't mind helping. I love to help! But just ASK me for help and don't act like a dissapointed child who's been told he can't go to the movies in order to shame me into doing it when I neither need nor deserve to be shamed! Ah well. Pointless to complain about something that's been the status quo for nearly three decades. But since I haven't had an LJ for most said decades I thought I'd share it anyway.
