After the Shabbos day seuda, the father went to shul to learn, the mother went to take a nap and the kids went to play with their friends outside.
After playing for a bit, Shmuli went back home. He wanted to surprise his mother by washing the dishes for Shalosh Seudos. He rushed to do it, being afraid that his mother might wake up before he is done. So he didn’t even want to waste time rolling up the sleeves.
“My sleeves might get soaked from washing the dishes,” he thought, “But I don’t care. They’ll dry up eventually when I’ll go back to play outside.”
Question: Should Shmuli roll up his sleeves before washing dishes?
