  kind of traditional like I have two sisters and
  they usually had the responsibility of doing
  the cleaning, and I had the responsibility of ,
  you know, mowing the lawn, and taking out
  the trash and cleaning up the yard and stuff
like that. Was it similar in your house?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> Well, dad used to do stuff like that and my brother and I
didn't do much work.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> You were spoiled.</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> Very, very, very, very .... yeah. Did you ever decide to
shift work with your sisters?</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> No, of course, it never even occured to me. I mean, when
  you're young, you just do they tell you to do, and to be honest I
  was very happy. I think I loved doing yardwork. I loved mowing
  the grass and pruning the trees and, you know, taking about the
  trash - anything that was physical I enjoyed. I didnt enjoy
cleaning. But you never had to do that?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> Well, I cleaned my own room and my brother cleaned his
  own, and I mean, it's obvious and it's ... I mean... it's something
  we really should do, like at home. When we eat, you clean your
  dish, and maybe we ... when I grew up, I'd wash ... I'll do the
  dishes, and even if I didn't do my mom wouldn't expect me to do
  it, and make sure I do it somehow. If it's not done, she'd do it. If I
do it, well, she'll be thankful.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> So, in your household, who mops the floor?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> My dad would.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> Your dad would. Who washes the windows?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> My dad, yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> Oh, your dad! He's hardworking. OK, who does the
laundry?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> My mom or myself.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> Or yourself? Really! OK. What does your brother do?</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> Most of the time, like, he's about eight years older than
  me, so as soon as he graduated from high school he went abroad
  for high studies, so when he was doing the usual stuff, I was a
  kid, so I was not doing anything, so soon after he went I took over
or something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong> Well you did some stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Buddhi:</strong> I did. I'm proud.</p></div>]]>
