Dishes- And Danger?

I was washing a baking stone
-don't have one? get one- instead of cookies being black on the bottom yet raw, they're entirely delicious, and pizzas actually come out awesome-
looking out the window
-there's this tree across the street, through my neighbor's yard, it looks like a semi-deformed spider-
and I was thinking about the shifting of duties in the house. Since my brother got a job
-Priceliine Negotiaaator! except avec une autre company-
he's been working nights, making it harder to do certain things. So now I do dinner
-and breakfast. and lunch. but let's not get into that.-
while he does the dishes
-kind of. sometimes.-
.
I wonder if he's as annoyed as I was by the incompetence of the rest of us
-well, I still am-
like how people just pile dishes in front of the sink, even when the dishwasher is empty, or just leave them on the table or randomly around the house, still covered with food and with the napkins crusting into the mess. I figure even if he is annoyed, he can't really yell at me about it.
-I like to think I'm the best about it in the house besides him (now that he knows what it's like), but that's not saying a whole lot.-
I proceeded to play out that type of conversation in my head:
"Really? The dishwasher is RIGHT. THERE. Two feet away. Completely empty. Why can't you just put? the dishes? IN?"
"Hey now. I asked that a lot when I did this, and nobody did anything for me! Why should you, one who acted like this, expect others -including me, who put up with it- to suddenly change now that YOU deal with it??"
I then began to talk
-in that mind-voice, so it might just have counted as thinking-
about how if, say, the ruler of a small country had citizens who behaved poorly- when he was overrun, could the new ruler really get the old to behave when he acted similarly? He didn't really have a case.
Then I evolved the thoughts in my head, thinking maybe I could make a real case, for myself
-well, if there were any problems the ruler would just chop off some heads-
-hmm.-
-shall we not mention that bit?-
