Homework #5: Chores

Mother: Children, Grandma and Grandpa are coming to visit this evening and I need you to help me with some chores. Have you all made your beds?

Children: Yes, Mom.



Mother: Tommy, I want you to fill the dishwasher and then wash and dry the big dishes that can't fit in the dishwasher.

Tommy: Okay.

Mother: Tracy, I want you to take out the garbage. Then sweep and mop the kitchen floor, okay?

Tracy: Sure. I'm excited Grandma and Grandpa are coming.

Mother: And Evan, would you please clean the bathroom?

Evan: Oh Mom, I hate cleaning the toilet.

Mother: Okay, you clean the sink and bathtub, and I'll clean the toilet. But then I would like you to help your Dad clean out the garage. Deal?*

Evan: Yeah.

Mother: Okay then, let's get started. I'm going out to mow the lawn. Come get me if you need me.

*Deal?= do you agree?
