章 24: Watch how I carefully unwrap you. In one piece. Trust me.

"Hmmm. Now let's check our To do list", James said as he picked the list of chores-he had written- from the table.

Joseph had come to visit early and James brought the idea of cleaning and preparing for a barbecue evening. Joseph liked the idea, he enjoyed stuff that included his father. James made a list of things they had to do. They cleaned the whole house and went grocery shopping.

James raised his pen ready to mark the ones they had done.

"Clean the patio"

"Done", Joseph yawned. They had been working as early as nine in the morning and it was almost four in the afternoon. Naturally, they could afford a cleaning service but Joseph knew how much his father delighted in carrying out small tasks by himself. Besides, they get to chit chat as they work.

"Clean the kitchen area"

"Done"

"Fix the faulty bulbs"

"Done big man"

"Wash the utensils"

"Done sire", Joseph jested.

James laughed and continued, "Wash and arrange the veggies"

"Done"
