Visiting Country Cousins

Took my three girls, 8, 10 and 17 years old to visit their cousins in S,'ang today. This makes them appreciate that having a bedroom and toilet to themselves and all the other luxurys they have. Besides that it's good for them to keep in touch with their cousins.

They get $5 , total. to clean these spring onions and it takes the three ladys about 6 hours. That works out to
??? each.
Stage one is trimming the roots off, then cleaning dead bits and dirt off.

What utter bollocks. I used to work for extra pocket money when I was a kid. My dad was always sending to help people with gardening and stuff. I loved it.. lived the money too lol. I had a regular weekend job and while I was studying A levels I used to help a guy deliver milk on his round. My weekend job was general gardening work for a retired Colonel and his wife. The old guy was captured by the Japs at the fall of Singapore (I think it was Singapore) and spent a few years as a POW building the death railway. A colourful chap I might add!

Anyway.. working as a kid (when not at school) gives a young person worth and let’s them appreciate the value of being paid for their efforts. Something too many kids these days seem to lack!

I'm with you on that one cause I don't understand the point of half the posts on this forum.
However I hope it enlightens some people that it's not everybody that gets a monthly salary of $180 in a factory .

And of course the country cousins must make a return visit to their city slicker cousins. and this is where the cooking skills of a ten year old come in to action and she makes scrambled egg and Milo with milk and ice for little sister and three cousins

Next step is homework.

The one thing that you will find a lot of in this house is
paper ( A4 photo copy)) books, pens and pencils, and a ten year old that likes to teach the other kids.

I have just been told that their English lessons will be tomorrow night. This kid is a natural born teacher and I would love to do a video,,,,,, but someone is bound to say hey that's creepy.
