There was a list of chores to do at our house that my sister and I split up, with no allowance that I remember.

I loved working on the farm, and remember when Grandpa called me into his office after a day/night of baling and putting the hay away. He had written me a check for like $10. Had me sign it, then paid me $10 cash. Said he needed the check for his records, and it saved me going to the bank. I didn't care, I would have done every minute of the work for free. Good thing, because now I do!

I remember stopping on the way home from football practice one night, saw the ornery old neighbor baling hay at his place all by himself. I just walked out and jumped on the wagon. A couple of days later, Mom told me that GrandMa and Grandpa were bursting their buttons, the neighbor came by and told them how I had stopped to help and would not take any money. He was so thankful, and they were so proud. Worth more to me than any money he could have given me.

I wish I had done a better job with my kids, giving them animals or acres to do their own thing and learn the ropes.
