There is an old Sepedi saying that goes, "Makhura a ngwana ke go rongwa," which loosely means that a child's energy is to be used in service.

One South African mother, pettyndlovu on TikTok, is enforcing that lesson in her household and taking joy in doing so. The viral video gained one million views at the time of publishing and was captioned:

"Finally using the dishwasher that I purchased 15 years ago."

This 15-year-old dishwasher has feelings and pulls faces

You'd think she was talking about some old machine that had been in storage for over a decade. But she was talking about her unimpressed 15-year-old son, who was hunched over the kitchen sink, washing the dishes.

We all know that feeling when someone pulls up to the sink with another dish when you're almost done with your chores. But lo Mama is just happy the dishwasher works.
