Pointless chores
There’s a time when all of us has wondered what the point of one seemingly pointless task or another is or why we must do it. I know I certainly have. As an adult I suppose those things that I question have changed but as a kid, even the most mudane of tasks is a source of annoyance. Once again, Shel and Chuck prove that these kids aren’t so different than normal humans.
I’m all for the not making your bed, but I am a bit of a stickler for flushing the toilet. Chuck’s alone on this one.
=Comic Transcript==================================
Shel: I hate cleaning. Why should I make my bed? I’m just going to mess it back up.
Chuck: Yeah really. Why put away clean dishes? Just going to use them again.

Shel: Exactly!
Chuck: And why flush? You’re just going to poop again.

Shel: Whoa. That is SO not the same.
Chuck: It’s not?
Shel: NO.
==============================================
Technically, making the bed is less sanitary than not making it. Bedbugs die if left exposed on the sheets, if you cover them up by making the bed they do just fine. Once I discovered this I resolved to never make the bed again, and I’ve stuck with it.
yeah flushing the toilet is important. wow. I don’t know anyone who is like that. ugh
Three cheers for finding logical reasons to get out of chores!
