Me: "Sure kiddo, I still have the list I made out for you. I'll pay you 10 bucks an hour, but you've gotta leave your phone at home."
Grandson: "Oh, OK. But I didn't mean that you had to pay me."
Me: "Great! In that case, you can bring your phone, do the all the work, and I won't pay you a cent."
[We both laugh]...

I just hope I can last until he has a place of his own, so he has somewhere to put them...
