Because dinner has finished, each child is clearing off their spot at the table. The whole process goes smoothly. The dishwasher is open and awaiting dishes. Dad and Mom are in the receiving line in front of it, taking each set of dishes as they come and placing them into the dishwasher. As each child drops their stuff off they file out of the kitchen and up the stairs to brush their teeth and complete their bedtime routine. Mom and Dad are focused on the dishes they are putting away. Dad's just taken Jack's final dish and is putting it in the top rack when they hear scampering feet run back to the table and a little hand places something else inside the appliance. It's the Green Goblin, and apparently Jack has decided he needs a shower today. Mom and Dad look at each other puzzled and then Mom calls out to her fleeing son (who is giggling madly) something that perhaps NO ONE else has ever said before or will ever say again..."JACK!!! GREEN GOBLIN does NOT belong in the DISHWASHER!"
