Learning yardwork

It is interesting that Jeremy's first real yard work experience was
not with his daddy who used to work in lawn maintenance, but rather
was with his mommy who doesn't sweat-she glistens?... Is there a rule
that says who has to teach what to children? Will my child be less
prepared for the future if mommy teaches him to garden or if daddy
teaches him to clean or cook? Will this affect him the same way not
having triangle crayons will? Why are we afraid that the tried and
true methods of history will suddenly not work with OUR kids? I am all
about the advancement of science and education, but are we advancing
or keeping up with the Jones'?

Who are the Jones', and why do they have so much stuff?
