I consider part of the cooking process is washing the items used in preparing a meal — pots, pans, measuring cups, stirring spoons, etc. I can’t relax until those things are washed and, if possible, put back into their correct locations.
My father, and now my son, go only part way. They pile things in the sink in sudsy water to “let them soak.” Then they forget about them, and many hours later when the water is cold and loaded with loose food particles I can’t stand it and finish the washing. And then they say, “I was going to do that, you didn’t have to!” Grrrr.
Life is full of opposites. The list seems endless. Light – dark, alive – dead, male -female, good – evil, true – false, right – wrong, on – off, up – down, right – left, north – south, east – west, wet – dry…

When Mom wanted to criticize my dad she called him “your father”, At all other times, she used his name.
