Child Labor

Landen is excited to learn how to use the riding lawn mower this summer.
However, he informed me of something this morning when I told him he would probably not get paid to mow the lawn.
"That's what I'm not," he said matter of factly, "a volunteer worker."

To his credit, he did help me tons tonight by offering to vacuum our upstairs after he finished his bedroom.  It is so nice to sit down to a quiet--and cleaner--house this evening.
He did ask if the vacuum job would come with an allowance.
I told him no, since I don't get paid for vacuuming.
His answer was simple, "That's because you're the mom!"
