Will work for food

I recently skimmed and article in the Wall Street Journal about the benefit of chores for children.  I skimmed it because it really seemed like a waste of time to read an article about something that already seemed so obvious.  (Not to mention a waste of grant money to study and write about something that seems so obvious.)

My parents never out right said it, but it was lovingly implied, "You don't work; you don't eat."  So, from one generation to another...

You wear it, you wash and fold it.

You eat off it, you wash it.
