Household Chores
Kevin, what is this mess? It looks like a pigsty in here! Clean this up!
Ok dad, I will do it in a minute, let me just finish this level of this game.
No, I said now! Plus, you are grounded, you’re not allowed to play video games. I wantyou to make your bed, dothe laundry and then come downstairs and sweep the floors.
That’s so unfair!
You have to pull your weight around here young man. My house, my rules.
But I already mopped the floors, dusted the furniture and vacuumed the rugs!
That’s great, but you still have work to do, so get to it.
