I finished … I thought.And then Grandpa helped me really finish.   After this , I helped Grandpa (for a while, but not completely) paint the big fence.

I like painting a lot.  BUT, I don’t like a lot of painting.
I helped Grandpa paint the big fence for a while, until I was done.  I told him I chose not to do any more painting… that it was my choice.

Then Grandpa went in to one of his explanations about “choice” and being free in this country … you know, the United States.  Then he explained that as a girl, I have more choices in this country than I might in others.

Like, in some countries, girls cannot drive, or go to school, or pick who they marry.  That is messed up.

So, I told Grandpa, that since I live in the United States, I chose to stop painting, and let him finish.

And that explains what I said, when I said, I like painting a lot… but I don’t like a lot of painting.
