Washing Dishes

by Amanda

OH MY GOD, WASHING DISHES IS ONE OF MY MOST BORING CHORE! When I wash dishes I just stand there and look at the boring dishes, soap, and water. Sometimes I feel like I can just stand their and die of boringness! One time I stood in front of the sink and I was gazing out the window and I forgot that the water was still on. I usually do dishes at least once every week and I can’t stand it!

I try to get my sister to do dishes too but, she says,” NO! DO IT BY YOURSELF!!” First, I usually clean out the sink with Comet. Next, I fill the left side of the sink with water and Dawn soap. Last, I put as much dishes as I can in the sink full of water and soap. Then the boring work starts! When I wash dishes I also dry them and put them away. All done!

The Job That Is the Hardest For Me Is Walking the Pigs

by Molly

When I have to walk my pigs it is so hard for me. Having to chase them around and then trying to make them lose weight or practice showmanship with them running around. I know you are all thinking well that is not hard well it is for me because I have no stamina. So when I do the pigs I pretend that I’m not felling good. Even though I do it4 months out of the year every year it is really tier for me.

So I will explain what you have to do when I do it. I ride my quad to my auntie’s house I go to the barn and I get the pigs up have them get some food and water before the run walk. I have to open the gate and get them out of their house because the pigs like their nice cool house. Once they are out the pigs go strait to the MUD! The nice mud the always messy item to be with the pig so you have to try to get them out and that could take a while. Once you get your pigs out you want to keep them running for about an hour and keep them out of the mud.

So after you walk them or run them you can give the pigs a break let them lay in the mud or water whatever they want. After you did your little running let them back in feed them and say goodnight to them. I gave you the routine that I do some things are hard and some are easy I hope you like my summary now I have to play in the MUD!

The Hardest Chore

by Marissa

The one chore I dread the most is washing dishes. I hate doing dishes, because they are extremely boring and a little disgusting. One main reason doing dishes is boring, is that you are just standing at a sink washing plates, cups, bowls, and cutlery. There really is no other movement to do which make the entire job very tedious. Though other chores aren’t very fun either, at least there is actually movement besides washing and drying. I also really do not like washing dishes because of how disgusting it is. When you are washing dishes you are pretty much just sticking your hand in water that has chunks of old food in it. And, if you do not have gloves to wear when you are doing dishes your hands might discover some very gross things inside the dirty dishwater. When I do dishes I really can’t think about what I am putting my hands in, I just do them absent mindedly. Also, when I do dishes I often will listen to music to make the time go by faster. Overall, though washing dishes isn’t the chore of my choice, I often can make it go by quick and make it seem a little funner.

Hard Chores! (Chores That Are Hard)

by Genesee

One of the hardest chores to me is cleaning the bathroom. I hate cleaning the bathroom because it is boring, time consuming and some parts of it are hard. The first thing I have to do is sweep and spray tile-x. Then I mop the floor. After mopping the floor it is time to scrub the toilet. While I scrub the toilet I feel sort of disgusted because I think of all the people who have been on the seat and all the things that have fallen on in the toilet. The next part is simple. All I have to do is wipe down the sink with comet and water. Then I do these in whatever order I feel like it. I have to clean the mirrors, refill the dispensers, change towels, and make sure there is extra toilet paper. One of the worst parts is scrubbing the shower because the stains are hard to get off the ground, and then when you rinse the shower all the dirt doesn’t come go into the drain. That part is frustrating, but the most frustrating part is cleaning up all the hair. The hairs won’t come of anything and if you sweep it out in the beginning it’ll come back while you’re mopping. Then the hair gets wet and it’s hard to get off of the toilet and floor. This is really, really, really frustrating. This whole process takes about an hour. The whole time I’m wishing that I could do other chores. I also feel like going to sleep. I guess the reason I picked this one above the others is because it is frustrating, boring, and time consuming.

Let's Clean Up

by Ginger Girl

Once upon a time there was a girl named Autumn. Now Autumn had 2 lambs and her sister Allie had one. Every day they had to take the lambs on a walk. One blazing day the girls’ parents were not feeling well. The girls decided to take there brother and their lambs for a walk. They went down past their house, past the mailbox, past the speed sign and almost to the creek. By this time the girls were very thirsty so they voted and decided to go back to the animal pens. After putting away the lambs the girls went inside to wash their hands. Well their mother wasn’t expecting them back yet so she got mad and said that they hadn’t even gone past the mailbox and it wasn’t long enough. After her outburst their mother decided that the girls should take better care of there animals. So the girls cleaned the excrement out of the pens, Bleached the water buckets. And washed the lambs when they were done the lambs were much happier.

Hard Chores

by Jessie

There are a lot of hard chores to do around the house. But, one of the hardest chores I have to do is give the dogs a bath. The reason this chore is so difficult is because the dogs don’t enjoy bathes. My two dogs, Max and Sam, will do anything they can to keep the cold water off of them. I have to tie my dogs to a poll and hold them in one spot when I try to give them a bath. Sam has to be held by someone else while I shampoo her and rinse her off. Then, when I’m done rinsing her off, she shakes off on everything and rubs all over the furniture. When she does that, everything gets wet, hairy, and starts to smell like wet dog. Next to puppy breath, wet dog is the worst smell that comes from a dog (farts and the smell of poop only lasts a few minutes).

Babysitting

By Danielle

The most difficult job I’ve had to do will probably be baby-sitting. I had to take care of two kids. The girl was 4 years old and the boy was 2 years old. Their names are Danny and Chochi. Their mom Fabiola was going somewhere with my mom so that’s where I had to baby-sit them.

The first thing I did with them was watch kid movies. They wanted to watch Winnie the Pooh. During the movie they wanted soda and popcorn. I got irritated and started to think “I can’t take this anymore”. Then my mom called me and said “Danielle, Fabiola just told me she was going to pay me $30 for baby-sitting. Then I thought $30 is worth it.

After the movie was done they were hungry. I asked them what they wanted Danny said “cereal” and Chochi said “Soup”. So I made her soup and gave Danny Cookie Crisp Cereal. They were full after that.

After they had dinner they started watching cartoons. They were watching Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants. They were starting to get tired so I got them blankets and made them a little bed so they can be comfortable watching TV.

At last, they finally fell asleep. I was so relieved and tired myself. Once their mom got home she gave me $30 and I took them and said thank you. That was the hardest job I did.

Review

by Borat

Little Manhattan is a perfect example of a love story. It is a great family film for all ages.

Most love stories have adults as main characters. This one however has 11 year old actors as main characters. Their names in the story are Gabe and Rosemary. The experience Gabe has in this movie is first love. They start hanging out and for weeks Gabe has been trying to do the same thing we all tried to do. All he wants is to tell Rosemary how he feels. Every chance he gets he blows it.

I like the movie because its different then other love stories. One because it has to do with kids and two the setting is modern. And it’s not all a love story. There is comedy in it to. And every movie is good with some comedy.

What I didn’t like about the movie is the ending. Even though it’s different and not expected, I think a little change could make the movie a whole lot better.

In my opinion, Little Manhattan is a good film because it has to do with kids. Everyone knows what its like to be young. When you were young you thought the same thing as both of the main characters in the film. In this case, first love. When I was 10 or 11, like Gabe did with the buildings and pirate ships, I used to make believe as well. I also understood love songs after I knew what love was like. I also used to believe in cooties.
