I was sharing a story w/ my mom several years ago - Every summer, we would have to empty the kitchen cupboards, wash them down and put stuff back.
Now i think it was giving us something to do during the summer instead of just veggin' - but after living in one place for 8 yrs and moving out, I was amazed at how dirty the kitchen cupboards were inside!! I told her that now I know why she made us do that. Her response was that she was glad i learned my lesson, because during those days I only did a half-a-- job! :lol:
And to share an Out of the mouths of babes....On 9/11, the kids(6&9) came home from school and we talked about it some because we were heading to church.
The oldest one said that "This wouldn't have happened if Adam & Eve wouldn't have eaten that apple"
:-D
