A lot of times we’d get a routine. Somebody would vacuum. Somebody would sweep the kitchen floor and mop that. We would always chat as soon as they came in. Just sit down. Let’s get a cup of tea. Tell me about your week. How’s it going at school? So we did some social stuff, and then I’d put them to work, and the hour flew by.
