This sign breaks my heart!
When I was young, my brother used to hit, punch, kick, verbally abuse, and embarrass me all the time because he ever hated the idea of my going around the neighborhood looking for some chores to do.
My brother had this very bad impression that our neighbors were taking advantage of my generosity, and he would always shout at me, "alilang kanin!!!" a Tagalog idiom, meaning you work like a house help for food only and no salary. This idea stuck with him and it hurt his pride the most. Little did he know that I was being paid more than the value of the work I did for our neighbors, like house sitting, scrubbing floors, washing dishes, baby sitting, watering plants, marketing, washing clothes, ironing clothes, etc.
I always pride myself on being very enterpising at a very young age.
