Val: Holly? I asked you to walk the dog.
Holly: I gave Alix 50 cents to do it.
Val: Well, I needed her to empty and re-load the dishwasher, so I guess YOU'LL have to do it.
Holly: But - But -
Holly: Can I at least have 50 cents?
Walk the dog: one hour. Empty and reload the dishwasher: ten minutes. I don’t think Holly has anything to complain about, she still got 50 minutes of freedom at a rate of one cent a minute.
my sister used to be an expert at avoiding helping with the dishes. She always had to go to the bathroom just when it was time to dry the dishes. Once my mom washed all the dishes and I dried all of them and the silverware and then Mom had me go knock on the bathroom door and tell her she could come out now, the dishes were done. Of course she came out all “what?, I had to go”…then she discovered Mom had left all the pots and pans for her to WASH and DRY. She still pulled her disappearing act some but not as much.
Now days she is a regular Suzie Homemaker, neat freak.

Holly had better marry a rich man. She is too delicate to do anything.

Now we understand why Alix took the dog walking chore so cheaply.
