How the three Tendo sisters get Ranma to help out…

Ranma was up on the roof relaxing when he heard Kasumi call out: "Ranma? It's your turn to unload the dishwasher. Could you please do it?"

"All right, Kasumi. I will get to it in a few minutes," he answered.

"Thank you," she called back. "It's just that I have to clean the kitchen and I have nowhere to put the dirty dishes. Then I need to do the laundry and sweep the house. And then I need to go food shopping, and…"

Ranma sighed and cut in: "Did I say a few minutes? I'm sorry, I meant now."

Ranma was up on the roof relaxing when he heard Nabiki call out: "Saotome! It's your turn to unload of the dishwasher. Do it!"

Ranma shouted back: "It's your turn, Tendo!"

Nabiki called back: "Your current balance is fifty-nine thousand, seven hundred, …"

"All right, all right! A thousand yen!" he yelled back.

"Three hundred!" Nabiki countered.

"Five hundred!" Ranma shouted.

"Done, but move your ass!" Nabiki finished.

Ranma sighed and got up…

Ranma was up on the roof relaxing when he heard Akane call out: "Ranma? It's your turn to unload the dishwasher. Could you please do it?"

"I'll get to it in a little bit, Akane," he answered her and then he closed his eyes. A little later, he felt something block the warm sun on his face. Ranma opened his eyes and, after a few moments, recognized the rapidly descending situation. He moaned "Oh crap!" and moved quickly.

Sometime later, Soun walked into the family room and asked Nodoka: "Do you have any idea why Ranma is re-installing the dishwasher?"

Nodoka shook her head with a slight smile. "No," she said. "Nor do I have any idea why he is muttering about hyperactive, gorilla-armed, mule-headed tomboys."

A/N: Sorry, this came to me as I contemplated getting my two sons to take care of the dishwasher - unlike the trash, I cannot really dump it on their beds.
