I don't think i could even fry an egg back when I was 10 bor LOL. Is it really a good idea to let kids as young as 10, without sufficient arm strength to handle pot/pan/wok, and without sufficient height to get a good clearance over the stove, to cook?
And I still don't know how to put on a tie without searching Google or dig out an iPhone App for that... I guess HK students tend to wear ties more?
I don't think it's a good idea to let a 10 yrs old kid to cook...
Washing dishes is fine though. I did that b4 10...
Put on a tie..hm..I need to put on tie for my school uniform (back in HK), but I just did it once...then other time just losen the knot ....and eventually...forgot how to do it...
I did cook when I was 10.. or early teen. For simple food like noodle or fry egg, that's not a problem.
I don't know how to put on a tie. no tie for my uniform. (we have a fake snap on one!)
But I can do most stuff on the list when I was a kid... I do think kids are spoiled now...
esp with domastic helper so available.
Back then, our 工人 had so much power over us.... we had to do most of the work... she just cook dinner and did some cleaning. I remembered that I did help clean the windows and it was dangerous... I was holding on the frame and the "window fa" to clean both sides of the glass ... 工人 only point here and point there.
