<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 10762464, member: 76316&quot;]Bro was 18 months younger...we were tasked with the supper dishes every day, an&#039; the breakfast dishes on the weekends, since we could stand on a stool to get high enough to do the job...probably about 7 for me so 5 1/2 for him. I washed, he dried an&#039; early on Mom or Dad would stand with us to put them away. Later on as we grew, we also did the pots, pans an&#039; baking dishes, an&#039; the final swamping-down of the counters an&#039; the stove upper surface, an&#039; on Saturdays the kitchen floor. I was rebellious, Bro not so much. That attitude cost me way more grief than the jobs themselves; Dad was quite strict, but also fair, while Mom was a softie. We were never beaten, but when all was said an&#039; done we toed the line, make no mistake. Like all children we (mostly I) would try to &#039;wedge&#039; our parents, &#039;tho it was expressly forbidden. More trouble, every time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
