Chores

Why should we have to do chores. Chores can be a great reset on your mental status that day, we’ll depending on what you do. It could be just folding clothes in your room with quite and peace. 

 

Depending on what I got to do that moment I like to think about different things. My chores consist of making dinner some nights, washing clothes, and chopping fire wood and homework.  My favorite is chopping fire wood. It’s just the sound of the wood cracking and exploding is so satisfying. I also like it because my grandpa was the one who taught me how to chop wood. He could chop whole logs no matter the size of the know in it all in one hit. Chopping wood can release all the anger out of you. 

 

No matter how bad of a day I  just had, I know all I have to do is grab the splitter (not an axe, axes go against the grain in wood while splitters go with the grain) and swing. It’s the best chore ever. What other chore is there that requires you to destroy something. Sure I have to stack it at the end but no chore is 100% fun. 

 

Chores are good for you. It helps release the negatives in life. It slowly gives you more responsibility to help you later in life. Most people see how negative I am in school. I'm not happy in school. But I hold that frustration and lash out on the 40 pound log fresh from the tree. 

 

everyone should have chores, just different chores for who they are.

I have cut and split many hundreds of cords of wood in my day, and all by hand. I agree that it is one of the great "chores" of life. I love the swing; I love the smell, and I love the palpable pile at the end. It would be cool if you could put a picture of yourself splitting at the top.
