The only possible response is to take his pillow and doona and put them in the dog's kennel (if you have a dog) or in the laundry if you don't. A disaster of this magnitude demands a severe response.

Um, I'm sure he was trying to connect with Miniestpeeler and help her project, but he sure did pick a weird way of doing it. The dishwasher bit was totally unnecessary and I can't think of any sane person who puts dirty paintbrushes in the dishwasher.

It had me genuinely gobsmacked for a bit, but he's lucky I'm not a staying angry kind of person. I guess I'm more a problem solver so my focus was on how do I fix the project and how do I fix the paint on everything situation. You're spot on that he was trying to connect with and help Miniest.. he's a 63yo (with a 14yo mentality) with a 10yo daughter and no clues at all.
