A Woman's Work is Never Done

Dear Oma and Tante,

Today we watched while Daddy did the dishes!

"Look girls," said Mama. "Daddy is doing man's work."

"It's woman's work!" said both Daddy and Sabrina at the same time.

Mama explained to Big Sister that really there was no "man's work" or "woman's work"-- that both men and women could do all kinds of work.

Sabrina paused while she thought about that one.

"Mama," she asked, "do you pick up the dogs' poop-a-loops?"

Mama cried foul, but Daddy said it was game, set, match.
