I wish. I take clothes from the dryer and throw on the couch to separate and fold. My buy Wynken immediately dives in and claims the pile for his own to nest in For a while. And then the whole gang help make the bed. A five minute thing turns into 15.

Took students to see the Tut exhibit in Ft. Lauderdale years ago. Walking them thru explaining the history, a few basic words in hieroglyphics, etc. started with my 10 and ended with about 30, including museum staff. Got offered a tip at the end.
