Mom and Eli,
14 year old son are cleaning at home.
Mom: Eli, We need to clean up the living room.
Eli: Mom, I have lots of homework today, can we do it tomorrow?
Mom, no dear, if we do it together I promise that you will have time to do your homework.
Eli: Ok, What do we do first?
Mom: First we need to put the chairs up on the table.
Eli: But, he looks at her, but then starts to put the chairs up. We need to pick up the baby's toys.
Mom: Yes, put them into the crib, I'll put them away later. Now we have space to sweep under the table.
Eli: Where is the broom? I know I saw it yesterday!
Mom: It is here in the bathroom. We need to remember to put the cleaning materials back in to the service porch after we use them.
Eli: I know. He sweeps the floor.
Mom: Wow, you did a great job! Now we need to put out the laundry!
Eli: Can Emma do that? I really need to start on my homework.
Mom: If you take the sheets, I'll do the shirts. I will put them on the new laundry rack that I just got! It is in the service porch, we just open it up and now the small items don't fly away!
