Josephine and Her Dishwashing Machine: Josephine Cochrane's Bright Invention Makes a Splash
One night after a dinner party Josephine noticed something that made her breath catch Her cups were cracked Her dishes dinged Her chowder bowl chipped She marched into the kitchen plunged her hands into the murky water and tried to fix the problem
She soon regretted that decision Stuck at the sink washing dirty plates Josephine's fingers weren't free to tickle the ivories at the piano Or pick her favorite flowers from the garden or spread sweet frosting atop tasty cakes or even scratch the furry ears of her beloved hounds There must be a better way
