By His Own Admission

R (5) is our child who has a sinful tendency to "forget" what we say. He is the child that has the hardest time sticking with a task and finishing it to completion. The children all have daily chores, which are even posted. R seems to need constant reminders to finish his chores. He is also the funniest and his dimpled smile and winsome ways often give him an advantage.

Last night, after helping clean up following dinner, R said candidly: "Some days I'm really helpful; other days I don't do much at all."
