Part-time helper


My 哥哥 can be quite a handful at time especially when we have visitors. He simply just turned into Super Ultra Active Uncontrollable I-Just-Want-To-Have-Fun Boy. Sigh! He is just a boy after all. Other than that, he is quite the Normal Active Controllable I-Want-To-Help-Mama Boy.

Everytime I do my laundry, I would ask him to help hang small items. He also helps me remove his and 妹妹’s clothes from hangers (I dry my clothes on hangers) then sort them in 2 different baskets so I can fold them later. He can also remove his own bedsheet, pillowcase and fold his own blanket and clothes. Although, he didn’t do it well, at least he is trying and I really pleased. He even told me he would teach 妹妹 how to do when she is older. Meanwhile, he will help her. He enjoys doing it and I’m glad too. His future wife will have to thank me for this.

I remembered how my mother would actually pay us to do housework. I could still remember the exact words … I will pay $10 to whoever is going to help me wash the bathroom. It’s always my brother who always gets the job. I’m just glad I didn’t have to go to that extend. Good practice starts from young.
