The flood in my sink vanishes as quickly as it appeared. FWOOOOSH. Glug, glug, glug. I was simply rinsing out the blender, but now I’m thrilled by the way the water moves in a deep sink. I refill the blender with water, then turn it over. FWOOOOSH. Glug, glug, glug. Across the bottom and up the sides, then down the drain. One or two more times, and I realize what I’m doing. The blender’s rinsed out. I’m wasting water. … Okay, one more time.

FWOOOOSH. Glug, glug, glug.

I smile, put the blender in the other side of the sink, and walk away.
