Where did the phrase ''Throw the baby out with the dishwater'' come from?
dont you mean bathwater and not dishwater
Ooops! yeah - I think that's correct.............
Wasn't it from the old days? Baby's were bathed in a dish like thing that was also used for other things like washing dishes?
Like those tin baths that we put ice and drink in now days.
Tch! Tch! Tch! Seemingly years ago - the man of the house always bathed first, then the mother, each child was then bathed in descending order - so you can imagine, by the time it came to the baby; the water was fairly mucky and dirty and so the phrase ''mind you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater'' was born.........
hey babes , baby in dish washer eyes r gonna pop out of heead ha haha
I think it's against the law to was a child in the dishwasher - although I'm sure each and every one of us has been in the sink at some stage..........go on - admit it!!!
Not me..... they never could find one big enough for me..... :emot78:
When you were a wee boy; you had a wee in a wee sink - I've seen the photos...........and don't even try deny it
