yep, that the perspective of kids today. Since our dishwasher broke a while back, we've been doing the dishes by hand lately. So my wife broke down a bought a dish drain. Simple enough. The kids handle the dishes in the evening, but since there were a few around, she did them during the day... in part to demonstrate the new fangled gadget.
Well my gifted child was starting to do the dishes in the evening, so he started putting away what was in the dish drain. When done, he brought the dish drain to us and asked it where it went. Then asked what it was! Mind you this is our gifted child.
Since it didn't plug in it must have no value by itself. We explained what it was and he went back to the dishes. When I went later to check, he had the drain side pointing to the counters edge so the water flowed to the floor - again our gifted child!
I showed him how it worked, and he said, gee what a great idea! Go figure how we ever existed before electricity!
