What is the first independent thing that you did when you were little?

Cook noodles and cook eggs. 😎 I honestly feel extremely independent at that moment.

My mom left the ironing board up & iron plugged in and I ironed pillowcases and handkerchiefs without asking.

@cherokeepatti dare i ask how old you were? i mean laundry is one thing but to leave something that could potentially harm your child out like that?

@Riverman I was about 4-5 years old though. I got to iron the flat stuff after that.

@ThatDLguy My mom came to visit and she didn't think I'd get it, she was taking a nap.

@cherokeepatti welp at least you were helpful at 4-5

@ThatDLguy I was helpful way before that. I was picking all the green beans in the garden when I was 2 1/2 years old, would pour the buckets of beans in a metal bathtub. Then my aunt would take them to the house and wash them, I'd sit on the couch on the screened-in porch and snap them while she cooked our lunch. After lunch I'd stand on a chair at the kitchen sink and help scrub the jars because my hand fit inside and it was easy. I did all kinds of chores, had too much energy and needed to keep busy.
