You’re living in a 30-person Stone Age band on the grasslands of Europe. Two men from a neighboring band are interested in you. Which one is the best match for you?

You must give up your life as a homemaker and take a job. You can make good money as a day care provider. How would you prefer to do that?
I provide day care in my own house. The people in my neighborhood pay me to watch and teach their small children. I work as a day care provider at an outside facility. The people in my town send their small children there.
I do that in my own house and yard, because there’s plenty of room, and it feels comfortable being in my own domestic environment. I do it outside my house, because I don’t want all those kids running through the rooms. I want to preserve my own domestic environment.
Your neighborhood is having a Fourth of July celebration at the rec center down the block. You’ve been asked to help with it. What would you rather do?
