Of course the kids have jobs, no slacking aloud in my house!

Jack's job is to make sure the fish don't get out of the fishtank and to keep an accurate count of them. Since he is a big fella it is nice that he can do his job from the floor and not the lid.

Smudge's job is to research ways to grow a thumb and to tattle on the other cats. You can't trust Smudge though, he'll make up lies to get the other cats in trouble.

Fido's job is to make sure I get to bed in a timely manner. He also is the official chicken and seafood inspector (quality control you know, he'd hate for us to eat something bad).

Uwe's job is to entertain the hubby and keep us laughing. He also alerts us to any birds that land in the yard. Gotta watch those birds! They could get into the house and peck out someone's eyes.

Jari's job is to see to it that I brush my teeth in the morning RIGHT AWAY! She takes her job very seriously. She'll run to the bathroom and back to me over and over until I brush my teeth. I think she was a dental hygienist in her previous life.
