bounce the bag down two to three flights of stairs only to cause we do not have a TV

or any other form of distrac­

roll the lint brush in places they cannot reach, and to make

the bed (if they beg) when too hurried to do it themselves.

ing with parents or guardians, and this poses the original

question: would you rather be a resident or a commuter?
