    The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Chores begin when your child can pick it up, put it away, fold it, sort it, or carry it out the door.
