Dialog
Read the dialog below.

CATHY - Hi Nancy! Where are your kids?

NANCY - They're at home cleaning their rooms.

CATHY - Really? Wow. I wish my kids would clean their rooms.

NANCY - We made a new list of rules for the kids. If they obey all of the rules they get a $5.00 allowance on Sunday.

CATHY - What are the rules?

NANCY - They have to clean their rooms once a week, do their homework every day, and they have a different housecleaning job each week. One week they clean the bathrooms, another week they vacuum the living room, each week it's a different chore.

CATHY - That's great. I wish my kids would help me around the house.

NANCY - Oh, and they have to wash dishes once a week too.

CATHY - How's it working so far?

NANCY - So far it's working out pretty well. They complained a lot at first about the work but they like the allowance. It really helps me a lot because I used to do all of the housework myself.

CATHY - I think it's a great idea. I remember when I was little I had to help my parents with housework.

NANCY - Me too. I had to do my homework right when I got home from school. After that I had to help my mom get dinner ready.

CATHY - I grew up on a farm so we had to feed the chickens every morning before school. We helped my parents a lot on the farm. When I was older I had to help milk the cows too.

NANCY - I think it's important for kids to help around the house. It teaches them responsibility.

CATHY - Yeah, and they learn how to do housework. When Bill and I got married he didn't know how to do anything. He didn't have to help his mom with housework when he was little so he never learned how to wash clothes or clean the house. I had to teach him so that he could help me.
