" We thought you guys might be a little tired out from all that protesting, so we ordered some pizza and breaksticks for you.."
The kids could not believe their eyes. There sitting on the living room table were 3 perfect pepperoni pizzas, and accompanying breadsticks. Needing no hesitation, the kids hollered and began to grab slices.
" Don't worry, there us enough slices for everyone to get 2!" Rita said through a mouthful of pizza. As the kids began to munch on their delicious treat, Lynn Sr cleared his throat.
" Now, I understand some of you have issues with the chores that you have been assigned. Now Me and your mother have decided that we will listen to any and all complaints starting now. And since you're the oldest, I think Lori should go first.
Clearing her throat, Lori began to speak.
" Um, I really don't don't have any major issues with washing clothes, but 2 things. First, why do I have to wash everyone's clothes? Everybody from Lynn on up is old enough to do their own laundry. And second of all, I didn't want to say this out loud, but some of you need to understand proper procedure of wiping."
It was then all the kids starting to look at each other nervously. If one looked closely, you could see the faintest of blushing embarrassment on Lynn Jr and Lana's face..
" Ok, that was...interesting to say the least," Lynn Sr said, " But does anyone else want to go next?"
And so, every other kid aired out their opinions on their given chores. The only ones who really didn't like their given chores were Lola, who argued that everyone should make their own bed, and Lincoln who for some reason didn't like taking out the trash. After letting everyone speak, Lynn Sr made his decision.
" Ok, after listening to everyone, I have made my decision. Everyone from Lincoln on up is reaponsible for doing their own laundry. Saturday and Sunday are the designated laundry days, but preferrably sunday. Try to have at least a full load of clothes when you do wash. Me and your mother will take over laundry for the youngers kids from Lucy on down. Dishes and Trash collection will be on a rotating basis, as I will pull 2 names , and I will pull one name from Lynn Jr on up and one name from Lincoln down for each, so be ready to do trash duty or dishes each week. Also, every body is responsible for cleaning their room and making their beds. And lastly, me and your mothee will take over paying the bills. Does anybody have any questions?"
" No.."
" Good.." And with that, the family enjoyed the reat of their pizza.
