I Do My Duty; Other Things Trouble Me Not

From Philosophy for Kids, Question #4 -- Marcus Aurelius: Should you let little things bother you?

1. List some of these duties:
Duties to Parents (combining with Duties to Teachers, ahem!):
Annoy her, Study hard, tidy up, have fun, be nice, eat my vegetables.

Duties to My Friends:
Have fun, be nice, do not annoy them.

Duties to Myself:
Have fun, be nice, make a mess, read, study.

2. What is more important, doing your duty or trying to be happy?
Dash: Try to do both if possible.
Mom: What if you can't do both?
Dash: Then be happy.
Mom: :{
