Saturday Chores!    by Marty Winston

My Saturday mornings begin at half past six. I like getting up early. I have a shower, make my bed and tidy my room. I do this every day. Then I set the table and make breakfast. I make pancakes for my brother Jamie and my sister Anna, eggs for Dad, toast for Mum, tea and orange juice. I’m the best cook in my family! (I want to be a chef one day.)

After breakfast, I load the washing machine: white clothes first and then clothes with dark colours. Mum doesn’t want my brother to do this chore. A week ago, he washed his red shirt with some white clothes. Now we’ve got pink socks and pink T-shirts!

My brother Jamie and my sister Anna get up at nine. They hate getting up early. They have chores too. Anna takes the clothes out of the washing machine and hangs them out. Then she vacuums the rooms. Jamie feeds our dogs, brushes them and takes them for a walk. The animals love Jamie and he’s very patient with them. He also takes out the rubbish at night. He hates this job!
