The House Fairy
As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought 36 . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on 37 ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their 38 into tears, I realized I needed to 39 my methods of “mothering”.
One day while they were at school, I had great fun 40 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 41 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 42 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.” 43 arriving back, the children were 44 excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy 45 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 46 asking them to play a certain violin 47 . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas 48 .
Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little 49 : “If you can finish your homework today and 50 it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 51
of jobs especially well done the day 52 .
53 I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the 54 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and 55 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

Today children always want to get anything they want at home, but they wouldn’t do housework. To teach my children a 36 , I decided to go on a cleaning strike for a(n) 37 , but I wouldn’t announce it.
38 telling my girls, I did no picking up or cleaning those days. I still cooked and washed clothes, but things that they could 39 do themselves, such as tidying up after themselves, I wouldn’t do. Would a week be enough for Lois and Joe to notice their mess and 40 their tidy gene? I started 41 to see the result.

After four days, my children were so sick of the mess, so they cleaned up themselves. Since then, they have kept the 51 of helping me with the housework. They 52 to wash the bowls while I tidied the room. 53 , every day they put their bedrooms in order.
I thought my experiment was 54 . As long as parents had 55 with children, they could learn many things from everyday life.
