Tell your brother if he doesn't get off his lazy butt that you will never give him rides to his friend's house, the skate park, or his pride and joy, the play station. He will look up at you and say, " I don't care," you can't do anything about it.
Frantically, you rush to the next chore on the list. Not thinking about getting all of the chores done, you find yourself picking the hardest one! The Kitchen!
