12．My daughter and I collected the empty cans and bottles in our home．this morning，We had 6 full garbage bags later so I knew we would be spending a bit more of time at the recycling center．When we got there，a man and his kids were also doing the morning recycling and were using two of the four machines to recycle their plastic and cans．Luckily，we were able to use the 2 remaining machines．
     Of course，there were others that came，but when they saw the two，families with garbage bags full of recycled things，they quickly left．However，one woman came in with just 5 cans and looked as if she was in a hurry．So I stopped what I was doing and let her in to recycle her cans．Of course，she was grateful，and it felt good to let her go ahead of me．But that was not the whole story．
      My daughter and I continued to work through the bags，but the plastic recycling machine stopped working because it was full．My daughter was left with nothing to，do．The other family was still using the other two plastic recycling machines，but it．seemed that they were almost done．I just told my daughter we would have to wait until they were done．But the man of the other family came through with another act of kindness．He offered to let us go ahead of him．I was really surprised，because we had more than 5 bottles，but he didn't seem to mind．I happily acceptedit．
      It was great to give and then to get an act of kindness in turn．It was small，I didn't expect it，but it surely brightened up my day．

10．It seemed like there were quarrels every evening．My children were always fighting over something．They never agreed on who had last washed the dishes，or who had last picked the，TV program．I was tired of constantly being a judge．
One day，I thought over what my life was like before marriage．I recalled my high school days when the terms"Odd（奇数的）"day/and"Even"day meant something．My class schedule changed by turns between"O"days and"E"days．On O days I might attend Physics and Maths．And on E days I'd go to another elective class，such as First aid or Art．
So I explained our new system to the children．"Jolee，you were born first，"I said．"Is one an odd number or all even one？"
"It's odd，Mom．"
"And A1，you arrived second．Is two odd or even？"
"It's even，Mom．"
"Ok，so Jolee，from now on，every odd day is automatically your own special day．That means you get to pick what to watch，or which board game to play．Al，the same applies to you on even days．"
He thought about it a minute，then said，"But there are more odd days than even ones in some months．Jolee will get‘her day'two times in a row when a month ends in 31，and the next one begins with a one．"
"True，"I said，"but that also means she'11 be taking the smelly，disgusting rubbish out，washing the dishes，and doing other less-enjoyable things two more days in a row，and you won't．It's part of life's give-and-take．"
For the first few days after that，whenever one kid shouted，"Mom!"I'd just call out，"Whose day is it？"That settled it．Soon．the quarrelling ended．
Ah，the complete joy of peace and quiet！
