Should be ok: If all you swallowed was a small amount of dish soap I believe you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about that.

Mom is right: Don't worry, you'll be just fine. Although dish soaps can contain toxic ingredients and shouldn't be ingested, the likelihood of your having a toxic reaction from a small amount is very, very low. I wouldn't worry at all about it.

Should be fine.: I agree with Mom. Drink some more water just to dilute it a bit in the stomach, but if it was just a little bit in the cup you should be fine. It's doubtful that amount would be toxic to your system.
