Household Chores

In a large family, everyone has a role in the household chores. Let’s follow Frankie as he assists Hu-Dad on a Sunday afternoon project.

The Hu-Dad worked last week to move some internet cabling at Chez Herd. With the project almost complete, he realized he needed a small table in a closet for some equipment. He purchased one of those “some assembly required” tables and spread out in the great room floor. Frankie offered to assist.

    Mom sez: After all your hard work assisting the hu-Dad, I don’t recall seeing anything to drink for you in that picture, Frankie — what’s with this? Not fair at all!
