thank god the family business is temporary

Dear Dad,

I am an efficient worker. We established this the last time I worked for you. Please give me a list of tasks, because when you come up with them piecemeal, I am left twiddling my thumbs and waiting for you every fifteen minutes or so.

Exasperatedly, Me

Dear Mom,

Nouns. Seriously, use them, love them. The pronoun is not your friend. (Also, although technically a noun, 'thing' does not help.)

Advanced lesson: verbs. I find them helpful for explaining actions. Use different ones for different actions, and that will clarify 'things' greatly.

With equal parts Love and Worry, Me

far from the tree, coal mine
