How does THAT work?

So, just recently a friend of mine told me that she makes her children do menial tasks when they have attitude problems (more than just their regular chores and daily jobs to contribute to the family). Shaeanne was the first one to test out the "new" policy, so I showed her how to take a washrag and get on her hands and knees and wipe the floor after sweeping up the crumbs. Since we share a kitchen right now with Granny and Poppy, the kitchen floor is almost always in need of some sort of attention with 8 people regularly using it.

Well, Shaeanne got to the point where she actually enjoys it, and like Tom Sawyer, has talked her sister and brother into seeing the "fun" in scrubbing down the kitchen as well. For the past 3 days, Shaeanne has done this on her own without being prompted (or threatened) and is now adding the task of wiping down the cupboards! How does THAT work? I've read about families enjoying their work together, but it really is cool to watch it happen and for the kiddos to be so happy doing it! So, the next job is for me to find another "menial task"! What a great problem to have. :)
