Mom, I don’t like making my

bed.

1

2

It takes me so long and it’s too difficult.

3

Can you make it for me, please?”

4“Sure, but it will

take away from the time that I would use to do other things for you.

5

Which one of my jobs can you do for me, while I make

your bed?”

6

“I could serve myself breakfast,” answered Kay.

7

“Well, that’s something you

already do, isn’t it?” replied Mom.

8

“Yes… Oh, then I don’t know. There’s nothing else for me to do,” said Kay.

9

“If I make your bed, can you make my bed?” asked Mom.

10

“Or, can you do the breakfast dishes or the laundry for me, while I make your bed?”

11

“I’m thinking about it,” said Kay.

12

“I’ve decided that I will make my bed

instead.

13

That way I can practice doing it, so that I can get better and faster at it.”

14

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Mom. “Now I can finish

preparing breakfast.

15

And we can enjoy it together, as soon as you’re done making

your bed.”

16

“Watch out, messy bed.

Here I come!”
