Scheduling Dishes

Source

The other day, Mum and Joe had an interesting conversation. Mum had just finished washing the dishes, and Joe was finishing rinsing.

“You can be done now,” Mum said. “There will be more dishes later, but I’ll rinse them.”

Joe looked around, and not seeing any dirty dishes sitting around said, “There aren’t any more dishes!”

“No, not right now, Joe.” Mum answered, “I haven’t gotten them dirty yet.”

“Oh.” Poor Joe was very confused! :)
