I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping.

I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.

If everyone is good at something different, assigning chores is easy. If your partner is great at grocery shopping and you are great at the laundry, you're set. But this isn't always - or even usually - the case.

The best way to get anybody's attention is dinner. I have good kitchen skills and good grocery shopping skills.

For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I'd get self-conscious.

I like being able to go grocery shopping and not feel that I'm fighting a thousand people.
