care of the table setting and the dishes. Okay?" She continued, "Saturday mornings we'll dust and vacuum; I'll do the laundry but I'd like you to learn to iron," Mary asked?

"Iron? Okay I guess."

She went on dividing up the household chores. Since we had a gardener for the outside, it was only fair, I helped on the inside.
