  I was 7 & my sister was 6. We started at the same time. I seem to remember our mom counting our time as her own before that. Is that normal procedure? I can't remember.

  No.
  
  I'm quite sure that publishers could only count their own time spent out in door-to-door work, return visits or Bible Studies.

  @Gopher - Very Interesting. She always did. She included any magazines and books we placed on her sheet as well.

  LoisLane looking for Superman

  I would go out with my mom, door to door, when I was just a little tike. From driving around the neighborhood so much and now that I was able to be tall enough to see out the window, I learned to read and spell my first word, at age 4, all by myself. S T O P. I can still remember the joy I felt, I can read! lol

  When I was 7, from the District Convention, we did magazine work. It was in a very large, metropolitan City. The area we were assigned, was a neighborhood of all old wooden homes, with front porches, and huge trees, over-hanging the street. Most of the homes were run down, no nicely mowed green grass or flowers. I was shocked to see people parked their cars, in their front yard, where their lawn should have been. I placed maybe 8 or 10 mags that AM, so my mom said, well you placed them, you might as well count them, so from that day I have been a publisher.

  I was 6...many mornings my mom would walk me to school and one block away there was a busy bus stop where we would do street corner work...standing with the large Watchtower and Awake mags of the early sixties...Many of my school mates and teachers would pass by and see me standing there...and after half an hour I would then go to school. That was the routine every morning when mom was a "vacation" pioneer in April.
