I often asked my mother for help when I had 1 to do. But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear." I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the 2 mother in the world!
For example, one day, I decided(决定) to invite some friends of 3 to my home. My bedroom was in a mess. Books were 4 , and I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it, 5 she still said, "Do it yourself."
Because of my "lazy mother"， I 6 to wash my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do 7 . I even had to go to the dentist(牙医) by 8 . It was really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned a lot. As time9 , I understand my mother. She 10 me clever and diligent(勤奋的). She is a great mother.
