Helpful Jacob

I had been sweeping the kitchen when I got interrupted (by what, I don't remember!), so I left my crumb/dirt pile and the broom leaning in the kitchen to finish in a moment.
Jacob took up the broom and announced
"Mommy! I'm brooming for you!"
I inwardly sighed and outwardly thanked him.
But when I went back to it, I was baffled at the lack of dirt...it really looked like he had swept up for me. I questioned him on where the dirt went, and with those wide, innocent eyes looked up and said
"I knew you wanted it to go away, so I pushed it under the dishwasher."
Gulp. Smile. Thank you, wonderful Jacob. No worries...it's a portable deal that was easily moved after he went to bed to retrieve the dirt so that I could really make it go away!
