In our family, children have chores to do. After a meal, they need to clear dishes and load the dishwasher. When we dine outside, the chore can seem somehow a touch more daunting and the distractions are ample with all that distance to travel...
Daddy: Keva, Tavish cleared everything from the porch AND emptied the whole dishwasher
Mommy: Keva, you haven't done anything tonight!
Keva: No! That's not true! I've played!
She is a truth teller. Though our place fails frequently to be spic and span, there is a lot of playing ... which won't buy you visually appealing spaces, but does bring joy and happiness ... or something. So ... yay?
