Chores

Yesterday Mikayla was doing one of her chores, dusting the television. Elyana was being her usual nosy little-sister-self and was trying to see what Mikayla was up to. Kayla starts to explain to Ely that chores are for big kids. "Maybe someday you can do chores too," she says. I totally had this beautiful "unrealistic" day dream of the girls arguing over doing the chores someday. The reality will probably be that, yes, they will be arguing over them, who did what last and who gets to do the easy ones. Nate and I were laughing over this last night and joked, "Wait till we break it to Mikayla that when Elyana starts to do chores too, we might have to split Kayla's 10 cents she earns per chore so they each will each will get 5 cents!" Ha! Ha! By the time Elyana is old enough for her own chore list, Kayla probably will have learned all about interest, advancements, loans, and how to completely take advantage of her little sister.
