Dear Family Life,　　 My mother is a career woman, but she never forgets her household dut

ies.

　　 One snowy morning, she went out for her daily run. When she returned

to the house, she slipped and hit her head on the driveway.

　　 I sent her to the hospital. When we arrived, the doctor asked my mom

some questions to see if she was OK. “What day is today?” he asked. Witho

ut hesitation, Mom replied, “Cleaning day.”

Yours, Bob

Dear Family Life,　　 My mother is a typical housewife and she does nearly all the housework. My father is an engineer and he never does any family chores.　　 Last Sunday afternoon my mother was ill, my father volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She gave him a shopping list with five items: 1 orange 2 eggs 3 hams 4 eggplants 5 green peppers.　　 Dad returned half an hour later. He opened a large grocery bag and started to count “one orange, two eggs, three hams, four eggplants, and five green peppers”. Mom and I laughed till we cried! Yours, Ben
