WASH AWAY THE FLAB: CHORES TO HELP KIDS LOSE WEIGHT

OMAHA, Neb. (Wireless Flash) -- How do you keep a kiddie coach potato from turning into a fat slob? A cleaning company in Omaha, Nebraska, known as "The Maids" has a solution right out of "Leave it to Beaver:" just force the kids to do some chores. The service claims all you need is a little child psychology to turn a chore into a game. Some of their suggestions... -- "Musical Chores." Each child tackles a different cleaning project and then switches chores whenever the music stops. -- "Dash for Trash." Each kid is handed a laundry basket and races to see who can fill it up the fastest with filthy clothes. -- And, finally, there's "Puppet Dusters." The kids are given sock puppets for dusting and whoever gets their puppet the dirtiest wins.
