“Working with Dad”
In the morning we get up to eat breakfast with the family. Shortly, after that we go outside to start our
chores. Midway through, we stand on the front porch or the back balcony and watch life pass us by.
Next we continue our work routine within the blink of an eye---between both of us we work from 8 till
noon.
