Helping parents with chores.

Believe it or not, in our town there is a sign that no one under 12 is allowed out of the car at our dump (transfer station) My son, from the time he could carry would jump out to help me with the trash. The dump man never said a thing.

Pump gas. There are signs on the pump about being at least 16 to pump gas. My son was expected to jump out of the car and pump from the time he could manage. And he did.

But then again, we all continue to commit 5 felonies a day.

I remember being sent to the store for cigarettes, lighters, pipe tobacco, and to the gas station to get gas for the lawn mower. All happening while I was under age 10.
