“If I can do it with one arm, you can do it with two.”
Growing up in a family of 9 meant organization or anarchy. My mother, with the use of only ONE arm due to polio, had the cleanest home in the neighborhood. How? She had a Saturday morning cleaning list and no TV, friends or playtime was allowed until it was completed. We were taught that as a family each member must contribute for the good of all. Each of us wrote our name next to a small, medium and larger task so everyone knew who was responsible for a great job done or who was called back if it needed a touch-up. There were no gender-specific jobs: boys washed dishes and learned to sew, girls mowed lawn and cleaned the garage.
