Each week, All Things Considered and Lenore Skenazy, author of the book and blog Free Range Kids, bring you "Another Thing," an on-air puzzle to test your cleverness skills. We take a trend in the news and challenge you to help us satirize it with a song title, a movie name or something else wacky.
This week's challenge: A study out of Norway found that couples who split the chores equally are 50 percent more likely to divorce.
Come up with the name of a country song about a chore-splitting couple.
Submit your entry using the form below or by sending your answer with your name, address and phone number to anotherthing@npr.org.
Entries are due by noon EDT on Oct. 10. All entries become the property of NPR, which reserves the right to edit them. Entries submitted as comments on this Web page cannot be considered. In the case of several similar entries, the first one received gets credit.
The winner will be announced on All Things Considered on Oct. 15. The first-prize winner will receive an NPR mug.
