Equality

Tonight's convo with Nadia, my 15 year old, daughter.

Mom:  Can you the dark clothes in the bathroom basket and add them to the dark clothes in the laundry room and get a load going?

Nadia:  Well I have a dark load to put in.

Mom:  Just add your stuff to it.

Nadia:  I have a whole load.

Mom:  Ok just put it in so we can keep the laundry moving.

10 minutes later...

Mom:  Can you gather the 4 little trashes upstairs and I'll take out the kitchen one?  It's trash night.

Nadia:  How about some equality?  Why don't you take out the 4 small ones and I'll take out the kitchen one.

Mom:  Hell Yeah!  I vote for equality!  You do dishes 3 nights a week, I do 3 nights a week, you do laundry 3 days, I'll do laundry 3 days, you cook 3 times a week, I'll cook 3 times a week, you clean the house and vacuum for a week, then I'll do it for a week.  I would actually love some equality around here.

Nadia:  No mom, I was just saying I learned about equality, I don't actually want to practice here in the house!

This night is never going to end.  Hmmmmm
