It may seem small in the scheme of things - but last night my DD (newly 16) emptied the dishwasher, put all the dishes away, and ...... wait for the best part..... reloaded with dinner dishes!! All without me asking her!! YAY - I've been trying to get her to take on this chore for months, and she always resists. Last night I heard the clinking of dishes, and didn't want to go into the kitchen - I might jinx it! - but it was true.

Her "ulterior" motive was she wanted me to watch "Next Food Network Star" with her and knew I couldn't until the kitchen was clean - but still - she did it - all on her own!!

YAY

Hi, I never really post here but I lurk here all the time and I got a big smile from your post. As a parent its the little things that make us happy and prepared for the big things. Congratulations on the chore ownership!
