You Need to Use Water Too

It was a simple request.

I asked Big Sister to wash her hands. Two seconds later, she came up to me and asked me to smell her hands. I did.

They smelled like soap, but they looked like dirt. I realized I hadn't heard the water. So, I asked if she had used water.

She told me she had a new way of washing her hands.

Oh really?

Big Sister continued by telling me that she rubs the soap on her hands and then wipes it on a towel.

Uh huh.

I told her to try again and this time use water.

Secretly, I admired her, um, creativity.
