| - A chore is work given by a parent that shows that they can't think of anything better to give you, and that they don't want to do it themselves, so someone made a dictionary entry and made up a word for it.1
- Chore is kind of a pain to be around. Nobody agrees with anything he ever says, and he's always talking, so most learn to either tune him out or pointedly avoid his presence. One almost-interesting thing will invariably happen to him in a given decacycle, but he will mention this thing at least three times in quick succession the next time he sees you, give you a bonus summary shortly later, and then forget he told you in the first place, at which point the whole process repeats itself. Furthermore, he will throw a tantrum if he feels the slightest unappreciated. His observations are funny, blast you.
- A partial list of common chores: Some people find the routine of chores simple and restful. Other people will dislike the same chores intensely. Which chores do you like most? Least? If there are certain chores you cannot or prefer not to do, consider hiring someone or trading. Maybe your neighbor can mow your lawn as well as hers (enjoying being outside and using her new riding lawnmower) in return for you occasionally vacuuming the areas that cause the most trouble for her dust allergies? It used to be easy to find a neighborhood kid who wanted to earn some extra money for doing some chores, now, at least in the U.S., many kids have other activities and jobs after school, but there are adults willing to do these jobs -- handyman, contractor, etc.

Chore does reasonably good work as a construction crane, and is something of a workaholic. Despite his small size, he can lift up to two hundred astrokligs. When Powerlinxed to a larger Transformer, he can create a thin forceshield around his partner that can shield both from light projectiles.

Even small children can help with chores, given some initial guidance and careful selection of the chore. Or sometimes an adjustment to the home may help. For instance, even young children can help set the table, but it will be easier if the supplies, dishes, cups, etc., are placed where small people can easily reach them.
