The Chores

Tony: Mum, I’m going to the park to play with my friends.

Mum: Tony? Where are you going? I think you have things to do.

Tony: Mum, I’ve done my homework. Look! I’ve finished all of it.

Mum: That’s good, but you need to do more. Today is Friday. You need to do your chores for this week.

Tony: Okay, Mum. Let me remember the chores.

Mum: Have you made a list of your chores?

Tony: No, I haven’t.

Mum: That’s why you forget them every week. Your dad has written them down. They’re on the kitchen door.

Tony: Hmm, let me have a look. Tidy your room. Take out the rubbish. Load the dishwasher. Mum! My room is tidy. There are only two chores left. I’ll do them now.

Mum: Good boy!
