DIALOGUE

Je te l'ai mis sur un autre post.

Emeline : Hi Lolita! How are you? Tomorrow we will meet in front of my sister's elementary school at 8 O'Clock. Is it ok with you?
Andrea: Fine. See you there tomorrow
The following day, on their way to the middle school.
Emeline: I am so tired today. My mother asked me to wash the dishes yesterday evening. There were a heap of things to do. I went to bed very late!
Andrea: did you? I went to bed at 10 am. My father wanted me to take care of my little sister. I had to make sure she brushed her teeth before going to bed. Then I read her a story before putting her to bed. It was exhausting because she did not want to go to bed and it took her some time before she was able to close her eyes.
Emeline: Well, my parents told me to clean the windows this week-end. Then I will have to vacum our bedrooms! This is so unfair. They want to give me more responsibilities. I wanted to go to the movie theater with Jennifer, but I can't. No time for freetime!
Andrea: Well, this week-end I will have to do the laundry and then I will have to iron my clothes. My mother is bedridden. She broke her leg last week. So my father expects me to help him in the housechords. He will give me some pocket money!
Emeline and Andrea are now at school. Dietrich, a new student, has just interrupted them because he is looking for his class.
Dietrich: Sorry to interrupt you but I am a new student here and I am looking for my class... the 8th grade with Mrs. Schuler.
- Oh, it is right on the corner. Where do you live?
- In the neighborhood.
- We were talking about housechores. Our parents have asked us to do many things this week-end!
- Well, my father wants me to work with him in the shop. He is trying to fix his car. The engine is broken. Then he wants me to mow the lawn. My father will give me some bucks to do this. So I don't mind doing this.
- We all have to do something this week-end. Housechores should be for parents not children. It's so unfair!
