Dishes as you go, or all at the end?
One of you wants a clean counter while cooking. One of you wants to enjoy the meal and deal with it later. Both sides, a ruling, and a sentence. Below: both sides as they'd actually put it, then the ruling The Judge gives when two people bring this one into a Settle It room.
Both sides
Clean as you go. Rinse the pot while the sauce simmers, and there's nothing to face after dinner. You cooked; you don't get to also build a monument.
I'll do it after. Cooking is the fun part. Stopping to scrub every three minutes ruins it, and the dishes are the same dishes either way.
The Judge's ruling
Ruling: Ava has a point: rinsing a pot before the sauce dries can save some scrubbing later, and that a clean counter mid-cook is a real quality-of-life gain. Ben is right that nobody is obligated to scrub during the interesting part. The compromise: rinse and stack while cooking, then wash after dinner. Ben gets to finish cooking without stopping to scrub every pan, and Ava doesn't wake up to a counter full of dried sauce. The court suspects the real argument is about what Ben means by 'later.' It is about whether 'I'll do it later' has a deadline.
Sentence: Rinse-and-stack while cooking is mandatory. 'Later' means before anyone sits down on the couch. The person who says 'I'll do it later' twice in one night loses cooking privileges for a week.
