Ade looked at the messy kitchen and sighed loudly.
Ade said, “We really need to clean this room before our friends visit.”
Jonah agreed, “It is getting very hard to cook dinner here.”
Jonah added, “Maybe we should make a weekly chore chart to stay organized.”
Ade replied, “That is a great idea since we are both so busy.”
Ade suggested, “I can take out the trash every Tuesday morning.”
Jonah said, “Okay, and I will sweep the kitchen floor on Wednesdays.”
Ade pointed at the sink, which was full of plates.
Ade said, “We still need to talk about doing the dirty dishes.”
Jonah replied, “I think we should just wash our own plates after eating.”
Ade disagreed, “That never works because people get tired and forget.”
Ade explained, “One person should wash all the dishes each day.”
Jonah thought about this new idea for a few moments.
Jonah said, “I guess you are right about that annoying problem.”
Jonah suggested, “I will wash them on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.”
Ade smiled, “Perfect, and I will take Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.”
Ade asked, “What should we do about cleaning on Sunday?”
Jonah answered, “We can take turns washing the dishes on Sundays.”
Ade said, “Let me write this schedule down on a big piece of paper.”
Ade wrote the new chart and put it on the refrigerator.
Jonah said, “Now we have absolutely no excuse for a messy kitchen.”
