Although typically Brinlee Tayton, as the only daughter in the family, helps cook, serve and clean up the holiday meal, she will be abandoning her mother to do it all herself after joining BYU’s Women in Business club and picking up the Global Women’s studies minor.

“I don’t see why I should have to stay in the kitchen when I am perfectly capable of making intelligent conversation about the stock market and world affairs,” said Brinlee. 

Brinlee confessed to being relatively new to these topics, but having a solid grasp on them now, as well as understanding the basics of her male family members’ favorite sports teams, she feels ready to leave her cooking and cleaning days behind her.

While Brinlee’s father seemed completely unaware of the situation, allegedly passed out on his favorite La-Z-Boy, her three brothers were reportedly not happy with this latest development. 

“Mom was completely alone in there, and clearly needed help,” said Bryseen, the oldest sibling. “It’s honestly so selfish of Brinlee to just sit around not helping her.”

Brandeen and Brodee, the youngest two in the family, echoed Bryseen’s comments, saying that they “felt bad” for their “poor mom” and that they hated being so helpless in the situation, with no way to get Brinlee to lend a hand.

The Tayton matriarch was unavailable for comment, as she is still doing dishes at this time.
