Cleaning story
I always clean the floor on my hands and knees because I just think I get it cleaner that way. One weekend I asked my daughter to clean the bathroom floor. She said, “I hate to get on my hands and knees and clean the floor.” I said, “use the mop.” She said, “we have a mop?” Makes me wonder what other things I have taught my kids to do the hard way.
It reminds me of the story of the lady cooking a ham for Thanksgiving and cutting the ends off. When her daughter asked why she cut the ends off, she said her mom always did it. When the lady asked her mom why she did it, the mom said because my pan wasn’t big enough for the ham.
Seriously, what HAVE we taught our children?
