My mother laid the law down. Since she and I had done the preparing and cooking for our evening meals, it was no more than right that the men of the house share some of the chores relating to same. They were to take care of the trash and garbage removal.
My brother agreed on the spot and promised Dad that after he finished his homework, he would be available, adding that we'll get it done in a jiffy.
However, he was no where to be found. And my father fulfilled his part of the bargain.
Trudging the garbage and trash down the stairs, I could hear him muttering to himself, "The 'we' is always 'me'."
