As I was putting my mostly empty oatmeal bowl on the floor this morning, I saw that there was a way in which Simon fulfills his role as "servant." Simon helps with the dishes, as do his two house mates, Frollie and Dexter. Of course. We finish the meal, put the bowl or plate on the floor, and Simon eagerly licks it clean. He is the Servant. He helps with the dishes. He is very thorough. He does not discriminate. He will clean up anything, well, anything except Pace picante sauce, or any hot sauce. But never mind, Frollie will lick those clean too. In fact sometimes the dishes are so clean we just put them back on the shelf.
