Dad. Can I go outside to play?
Well, did you get you Saturday's work done?
Ah, Dad. Do I have to?
Well, you know the rules. No playing until the work is done.
So, what is my work?
Well, first you have to clean the bathroom including the toilet. And don't forget to scrub the bathtub.
No, I want to do the family room.
Well, okay, but you have to vacuum the family room and the hall, and be sure to dust everything. Oh, and don't forget to wipe the walls and clean the baseboards. [Okay.] And after that. [Oh, no.] Next, sweep and mop the kitchen floor and be sure to polish the table in the living room.
Okay. Okay.
And make your bed and pick up all your toys and put them away. And ...
More?
Yeah. And then, how about going out for lunch and getting a big milk shake, but you probably don't want to do that.
No, No. I want to.
Okay. While you're doing your work, I'll be out in the yard raking leaves and pulling weeds.
