Chores

It's the time of year again to choose chores.  Sheela chose counter wiping, kitchen sweeping and mail retrieval.  Sunil fought for emptying the dishwasher and keeping the fridge stocked with soft drinks.  Both kids still have to do laundry and straighten their own rooms.  The beauty of chore selection week is that the kids are all excited about their choices and they not only do them cheerfully they compete to see who can do them the most often.  It won't last.
