Today, I've figured out something important, I would much rather work for charity than work for nothing. Today I helped out Angel Food Ministries, which is a very satisfying thing to do, helping the poor afford food and stuff. Anyone wanting to do so full time should get a job at Wal-Mart. Anyways, I helped unload the truck that delivered food to our church so we could sell it to people at a highly reduced cost. At that point I was supposed to go home with one of my neighbors who was also helping unload the truck, but instead I stayed because I noticed many of my other neighbors were there for the second part (distributing the food to the people who bought it) and I knew they could drive me home later.
Anyways, I greatly enjoyed staying. One reason I didn't want to go home would be that I was off from chores for helping with Angel Food. I'd still be off from chores even if I went home at the designated time (8:00), but if I went home at 8:00 then I would have to endure all my siblings shooting me nasty looks as they did my chores and I lounged on a sofa. Anyways, I discovered that volunteering my time for a ministry instead of doing menial grunt work is a trade-off I would make any time.
This will come in handy when I am a doctor and Obama expects me to work for nothing. He will pay me for the first few months of the year and stop when I reach my salary cap. Now I know what to do. I'll take an extended leave of absence from work and volunteer my time at a ministry that could use my medical abilities. You might be thinking, "Hey! There's no difference between volunteering your time to work for the government and volunteering your time to work for charity!" But you would be wrong. Dumbledore knows the difference, and so did Harry's parents, and so does Harry, so that's all that matters.

Ok, that's a little random, by the way, medicine is not socialised yet, and by the looks of things it may not happen. In any case, when you are a doctor, obama will not be president.
ReplyDeleteYou should be grateful that you have such a kind mother--I'd make my kids do their chores when they got home. (This must be why my kids call me "the mean parent.")
ReplyDeleteYa, well, Harry and Dumbledore were some of the least interesting characters in the series, with the obvious exception of the bad guys. I mean, obviously Dumbledore is nicer than Voldemort. But Snape is way cooler than either of them. And Luna is awesome too.
ReplyDeleteWait a sec, 8:00. I assumed that meant 8:00 pm, but obviously your siblings wouldn't still be up and doing chores. So that must mean 8:00 am. Then how long were you originally planning on being there--an hour or two, or something like that? Mom would totally make us do our chores anyway if we got back at 8:00 am.
