A Green Scouring Pad on a Stick- Paddy

Today I went shopping with my Mother for a list of things I would need to survive successfully at university. This list included, but was not limited to, a green scouring pad on a stick for cleaning dishes and plates and what not. If owning your very own green scouring pad on a stick is not a sign of being an adult, who has to fend for themselves, then I don't know what is. It is not something that I would even have considered adding to my basket of items, had it not been for my Mum. With all her adult experience  having been one for more years than she'd like me to tell you, she told me that a green scouring pad on a stick was something I was going to need. So I splashed out roughly £1.50 on (by I splashed out, I in fact mean that my mum paid for it). I have never felt more prepared for university.
