Super Dishes!

When I was a kid, our chores included washing our own dishes after dinner. Entirely coincidentally, my brother managed to break his plate en route from table to sink at least once a week. Imagine that.

Something tells me he's not the last kid to have butterfingers come dish-washing time. An obvious solution is to swap the porcelain plates for shatterproof plastic. Even better, let your kids pick their own--like one of the whimsical French Bull plates at Loft Party. Moms will like the tough-as-nails melamine, while kids will like the mod monsters or ultra-tough superheroes, like the cool POW guy shown here.

They're also a good purchase if you're married to a Greek. -Liz
