Dear Mom, Because of saving sick people in the hospital, you and Dad have to work away from home. You must be very tired. I know something I can do to help give you both a break. I can do chores and you can pay me! Every day, I'll sweep the floor, set the table and walk the dog each for $1. This plan can let you and Dad relax. It will help me, too. Ill organize my time better and learn to manage(管理)my money. So what do you think? I'm ready to start right now! Love Gabby |
Dear Gabby, You're old enough to start doing chores. But Dad and I won't pay you. No one pays us to do chores. Chores are a part of family life, and we all need to help keep our house clean and tidy. Sometimes we do jobs not for a reward(回报), but because it's our responsibility(责任) to do so. In fact, you'll get a reward for doing chores—smiles from both your dad and me. Love Mom |
