A while back we ordered groceries online from Albertson's and the delivery guy dropped off a few extra special items as well... a box of "Tiger Power" cereal (theyyyyyyyyrrrree's gggrrreatly sugary!) and a "chore chart game" to encourage kids to help out with chores.
Well, at least help their mom. The game was laid out like a board game, with various stages along the way, several of which fit a certain theme:
(Yeah, I realize I didn't hold the cameraphone steady, in
case you can't read it says HELP MOM CLEAN THE WINDOWS)
No, there were no chores that dad needed help on on this 'game'.
I just don't get it. Was there NO MOTHER or "new age sensitive father" or husband or friend of a vaguely feminist woman OR ANYONE WITH A BRAIN involved in the development of this product?
Maybe they meant Microsoft Windows.

Not even "help dad mow the lawn" or "get dad a beer"?
What kind of BS is this?
