Source of never-ending income

Hannah wants to earn some money.  This morning, as she checked her chore chart to see how much she's earned this week, I heard her murmur, "I need to earn more money."  Then she set off for the place of never-ending income:  the laundry.  She's been doing the laundry and folding it for the last week and a half.  And all I can say is:  Teach your kids how to do laundry.

Of course, when I started a load of diapers yesterday, she came upstairs and confronted me:  "Mom!  How can you be running that load for so long [I use a longer cycle for diapers, because...yeah, you know.]?  I have more important things to wash!" 

But you know what?  I'm willing to deal with the small problems that come up to have her doing the laundry.
