I liked doing chores when I was young. My mother started teaching us to cook when we were five or six. There was a reason for that. My father was at home for only two days a month,so my mother had to do everything. She had to grow crops,feed the dog and the chickens and cook for us. When we were five or six years old,we all started to help our mother do the housework. My eldest sister Lora helped our mother reap crops on the farm,my second eldest sister Daisy did the laundry,and I cooked for the family. When my sisters finished their work,they both came to the kitchen to help me. I can still remember the tears in my mother's eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked. When I was seven,I went to school,but I still came home every day and cooked for the family.I also liked to bring the food I cooked to school and share it with my classmates.
