A kid's work is never done!

"Don't forget your homework, have you fed the cat? Pick up your towel in the bathroom, move this cricket bat"
"Have you started working on your project on the Greeks"

"I'll do it later on mum it isn't due for weeks"

"Tidy your room this instant, have you made your bed?"

"I'll do it in a moment mum, yes I did hear what you said"

"Come and set the table, wash your hands too"
"You'd think I was a servant with all the things I do"

"Have you learned your spelling, done your title page?"

We work hard at all the time but don't even get a wage!

School work, chores and duties when can we have some fun.
No matter what the teacher says "a kid's work is never done"
