Bubbles?

"It wasn’t until I started doing dishes that I realized men in my family don’t do dishes.

At parties, I rarely saw Martins men helping out in the kitchen. Instead, our grandmothers, aunts and female cousins (all Portuguese and Argentine immigrants) would cook and serve the meal, and afterward the men would stack their plates near the sink like a Jenga tower before returning to the table, where they would finish their wine and pick their teeth as the women cleaned up.

I decided I would be a different kind of man."

~ N. Martins
