I'm sorry but this isn't another addition to Shmickelhimer, it is a story about when I got chores. You can see on my "life graph," I got my first chore at age 9. The chore was to wash the windows of the house every other day. I had a sign off sheet that I marked every time I did the chore. My mom would check the list every week and if I washed the windows all of the days I got three dollars. If I missed three or more I didn't get payed. My older sister got chores before me, and watching her do them made me want them. I looked fun to make money.(Later I realized it wasn't worth it. My sister even tried to warn me but I didn't listen.) I got them near the end of the summer. I woke up that morning and went down to my mom and asked for the cleaning products. I got right to work, copying the techniques my mom had shown me the night before. It was fun for the first weak, then it got boring. Next it got annoying because I wanted to do something else, but was forced to do my chores first.
I still to this day have chores, though they are different and the pay is better, it still sucks. I now have to do all of the dishes, and care for the chickens and rabbits. I get payed five dollars and can only miss four. I have to do them every day!

That sounds like it sucks! you think that is bad I don't get paid. My chores are to clean the bathroom and to do poop duty for the dog. Oh well it doesn't really matter. You should continue on you Shmicklhiemer story. See you at school monday.

Hayden that sucks I got my first chores at 6 years old and it was cleaning my room. Know I have to do the dishes, and clean the cat box, clan up after my new puppy and it is not fun and I don't get payed. But I do have a job at the Freeland cafe` and I make $60 a day. I liked your life graph it was really colorful. I hope your finger gets better, and I hope you are able to play against Kings. Get ready to beat Kings! Good skills!!!
Chores do suck don't they. I don't get payed though. Your windows must have been dirty if you had to clean them every day. See you at football. Nice job.
I have never had chores except for washing the dishes. At least you get paid. Washing the dishes is probably hard because you have a lot of people in your family. I bet washing he windows really sucked. Keep working hard.
That does not sound like fun at all. I think I got my first chores when I was 7. It was just to clean my room. My chores now are to feed my cat and scope his litter. It is not fun at all. I do the dishes every once and a while but not that often.

Your lucky that you get payed for chores! I don't get payed for doing chores, but i still have to do them. When did you get new chickens!? Are your rabbits still really small. That must be a lot of dishes to do since theres so many people in your family.

That doesn't sound fun at all. 5 dollars sounds ok tho. I have to do chores. I am pretty sure everyone does chores. I started chores when I was 6 7 or 8. One day we may ever have to do chores. Hmmmm, maybe not.
