No, contrary to public opinion it is not DH. Yesterday after school The Ten Year Old was delivered to my house and I was instructed to put him to work as punishment for misbehaving in school. He is one of those kids, like Mary's Kota and my own son, who get taunted and picked on by bullies. Yesterday, after meekly putting up with it for six years, he finally snapped and beat the crap out of one of the bullies. Typically, The Ten Year Old was sent home in disgrace while the bullies undoubtedly were fawned over like victims. Anyhow, I've never had a personal slave before and I took full advantage. During the three hours I had him in my clutches he trimmed a portion of my hedge, picked up and disposed of all the trimmings on the ground, watered all the plants in the front yard, changed the cats' outside water, folded my laundry and swept every bit of linoleum in my house. We then proceeded to the garage where he helped me get rid of more garbage and unwanted items. In a way, I suppose he was paid for all his labours. He went home with a pair of wellies that used to be my son's and a large box of books that used to belong to my kids, when they were kids. The Ten Year Old is a voratious reader. I'm pleased to report he left a lot happier than he arrived.
