We Have One Bowl, Can You Share?

This time of year is very busy for me. I get up early, work late, and frankly just run out of time daily. I went to the grocery and forgot to buy dishwashing detergent. So, the dishes piled up, (not like that is any different from when we do have detergent),and no one washed them for several days. So, eventually we ran out of dishes. The kids needed breakfast and Shaun told them they had to share a bowl. Heaven forbid we use the old Dawn dish liquid. What did we do before automatic dishwashers?
