as the middle of 3 boys we each did duty as:
fruit tree picker
lawn mower
garage painter and cleaner
car washer
ivy hacker
roofer
fire break digger (for the canyon behind our house)
and as we got older and licensed to drive:
dump runners/loaders
sewer pipe digger upper (god I hated that particular job the worst)
parts chaser
auto mechanic
oil changer
tire changer
and one summer ( as punishment ) sand shoveler.
/sigh I wish I had me a kid sometimes....usually during any one of the above events.
