Dishwasher Safe?

by Kristi on June 2, 2007


Ugh. This is so strange and horrible. Apparently there was an 18month old killed in a dishwasher yesterday… How completely tragic.

I remain confused though. You have to push our dishwasher closed in a forceful manner to get it to ‘click’ and then you have to push two buttons to get it to start. Sam helps me unload and load the dishwasher all the time and she tries to turn it on… but her little fingers can’t push the buttons hard enough.

Now, I realize that Sam is a girly girl and maybe a boy would be able to hit those buttons… but still! You have to be outside to do it! How could a child climb in and then have it turn on? In most cases the doors have to be closed.

I’m sure that not all dishwashers operate like mine. But I am thankful I have the one I do now, I suppose. What a tragedy. They say it remains an accident currently and not a murder…

There are to many tragedies. Like this woman in Texas last week who hung all of her children and herself. Except that the little baby lived. It’s so sad.
