A MOTHER’S STORY ~ Part 1

“No Charge”

My sister’s little boy
Came in the kitchen one evening
While she was fixing supper
And he handed her a piece paper
He had been writing on
And after wiping her hands on her apron
She took it in her hands and read it
And this is what it said:
For mowing the yard $5
And for making up my own bed this week $1
For going to the store $.50
And playing with little brother while you went shopping $.25
Taking out the trash $1
And for getting a good report card $5
And for raking the yard $2
Total owed $14.75

How much would your child charge you, or how much did you charge your parents?
