I’m just a slave around here. I always end up cleaning the dishes. It’s not fair, especially since there are so many who could help.
First of all, there’s Mum and Dad. They could do the dishes quite easily but they are in charge and people who are in charge never clean up. That’s what they have kids for – to clean up after their parents.
Then there’s Toby. He’s the oldest. He’s always texting his girlfriend and there’s no time for him to clean up plates.
Next there’s Hetti. She can be quite absent-minded at times and usually wanders off at dishes time because she has to do homework or something.
Then there’s Flynn. He thinks he owns the world because he’s all of fourteen and obviously cleaning up is beneath him.
That leaves me, the only slave around here and the one nearly always given the task of cleaning up. Unless we have visitors. I never get to clean the dishes when we have visitors. Everyone pretends they clean the dishes all the time. But no! No visitors and I get to do the work. They just dump their dirty plates on the floor and I get to lick them clean. There’s no rest being a dog in this household, I tell you.
