Children are noted for trying to get out of a responsibility. A mother had twin sons James and John. She gave her son James a specific chore to do which would mean an hour of work and one less hour to play after school one day. It was not too difficult a task but it would be confining.
As he turned away to begin the assignment, his brother John came into the house in his usual carefree way. James asked Mother:
"What's John supposed to do?" He said it in that hurt tone children (and some adults sometimes) use.
