Thanks! Ah yes, no luxury dishwasher. And working in the fiefdom of the kitchen. One learns much when entering that realm. Us boys hated working in the fields/animals and the sisters wanted to work outside. Not such a glorious setting for Mom, and hard work for her, too. But learning to work through the mundane stuff day after day provided a good grounding (I call it a “basis of appreciation”) that motivated us all to get where we are today.
Dear Sarge,
I believe that the term is:
“It builds character.”
OY!! what characters we have become, eh?
