when my father asks a task of you, that means he wants it right away. too much time and he will do it himself.
My father was not the if-you-have-time-could-you type. Most of the time, I was reading a book in the living room, working on homework, or maybe trying to relax after school or dance classes. If he asked me to do something, I learned that I can't say, "Ok, right after I finish the chapter/ the page/ this problem," because if I did do those things and got up to complete the task, I would find my father doing it himself. Most of the time, it was things that could wait: washing the dishes, changing the laundry, unload the dishwasher, etc.
I find that I now, complete a task as soon as I think of it because of my father. I remember the mentality: If I don't do it now, no one will.
