I heard a story recently about a little boy who went to a grocery store and asked the clerk for a box of Tide detergent. The clerk said, "Son, what do you need detergent for?" The little boy said, "I want to wash my dog." The clerk said, "Ell, son, that Tide detergent is pretty strong for washing a little dog." The little boy said, "That's what I want." The clerk said, "Alright," and he sold him the Tide and he said, "Now, you be careful when you wash your dog. That detergent is very strong; it might kill him." the little boy said, "I'll be careful." He took the box of detergent home. About a week later the little boy came back to the store and the clerk recognized him and said, "Son, how's your dog." And the little boy said, "I'm afraid he's dead." and the store clerk says, "Oh, I'm sorry, but I did try to warn you that the Tide was pretty strong to wash your dog with." And the little boy shook his head and said, "I don't think it was the Tide that killed him. I think it was the rinse cycle that did it."

Sometimes we feel like we have been through the rinse cycle, don't we?
