Cleaning up the Table

Cleaning up is easy when you can do it in fast motion.

After dinner someone must do the chore of cleaning up. This is why so many people go to restaurants. But those who can't afford to go out all the time have children and assign them the task.

What kids are good for....

After two years of marriage and disputing over who was going to clear the table after dinner, my wife and I came to the sensible conclusion that we should have children. Being naive, we did not take into account three years of diaper changes, twelve years of scraped knee repair, nor the near infinite amount of food consumed by a child (as well as the fact that they produce their full share of table debris - and more). However, our dreams finally did come true and we now have a daughter who is proficient at table clearing.

    Nice cameo appearance by the director.

Related Note:

Getting the kids to do the clean up is important. But before that begins you have to feed them. Most of them will be happy with bread and water. Here, I explain how to make bread dough from which you can make many different kinds of bread.
