NO NO I meant to tell her to get out of the house and make some money to fix the fireplace work.Oh No!If I make mess or am responsible for mess I clean it up. Much less painful.
Did this with my daughter at about that age, sat her on a bar stool in the kitchen to help. Mostly we learned what everything was at that time. Now she is 14 and very self sufficient! It doesn't hurt to involve them early, even if they are just watching.
You can have the $10k, if I win the lotto!!!I used a mix of fresh ground wheat and semolina, made the hole in the center and cracked our eggs into it and she went for the gusto. I'm really not certain how far the flour flew--but think she gave pretty much everything in the living room and kitchen a generous coating. When we were done, mom's only comment was that her noodles were better than mom's. Of course, I've been making home made pasta since I was 8.
Edited to add: The kitchen, living room and dining room are in the A-Frame part of our house. Dining room is separated by the big see through fireplace (which is broken and needs $10K to fix).
Sounds like Grampy has it.
That's because you know when to hide under the chair, do you think you can teach this trick to my DH???
