TITLE – A HARD DAY'S WORK

WRITTEN BY – SUSAN M. SERENA - 2012

When I was about eight years old, I asked my mom if I could earn an allowance by working around the house. She said that I could start small by bringing the dirty laundry downstairs and carrying the clean laundry upstairs. The basket was light. Then she said I could pick up all of the toys that my brother and I own before she falls over them again and gets hurt. I better get it done fast and keep them in the box. I will try to never forget again. I only forgot once before and got grounded for a long time.

After that she asked me to wash the dishes in the sink and put them away. The sink was full and had more than ten dishes and six pans in it. I also showed them that I can cut the grass better than my brother does.

I worked all day until seven o'clock and was very tired. Doing chores is much harder than I thought it would be. I think I shall wait to earn money for myself. For the rest of today though I will sit and watch tv while I hold my warm cup of hot cocoa. Later, I will draw up a better idea of how to make money. I think I will stay far away from chores for now. I will save that for the grownups.

My very kind parents said that I did a good job and must rest. We all laughed together because I now know how hard work can be!
