My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I'd have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter.

People don't like having to do tasks by themselves -- especially housework. Rather than doing chores separately, it can be a much more positive experience when families do them at the same time.

The neighbors would talk about it,.. We didn't believe in waiting until you get home (to punish). We believed in taking care of it right on the spot. I recall them crying while they were doing it, but that's the punishment. There were no extra chores. It was just, 'Hey, give me 25 right there.'

We had chores to do - cleaning the chicken coop, feeding the horses, milking the cows. That's where I learned how to milk a cow. We used to have a big pump in the yard - the best water I ever tasted in my life. It had such a pleasant taste.

I think women dwell quite a bit on the duress under which they work, on how hard it is just to do it at all. We are traditionally rather proud of ourselves for having slipped creative work in there between the domestic chores and obligations. I'm not sure we deserve such big A-pluses for all that.

.. TV was entertainment of the last resort. There was nothing on during the day in the summer other than game shows and soap operas. Besides, a TV-watching child was considered available for chores: take out the trash, clean your room, pick up that mess, fold those towels, mow the lawn.. The list was endless. We all became adept at chore-avoidance. Staying out of sight was a reliable strategy. Drawing or painting was another: to my mother, making art trumped making beds. A third choir-avoidance technique was to read. A kid with his or her nose in a book is a kid who is not fighting, yelling, throwing, breaking things, bleeding, whining, or otherwise creating a Mom-size headache. Reading a book was almost like being invisible - a good thing for all concerned.
