Everyone in my family ____________________ contribute to keeping order in our house . My parents assign chores to my brother Joe and me . We ____________________ do these tasks every day . Sometimes if one of us is busy and can't do a chore , the other one may take care of it . For example , last Friday it was Joe's turn to wash the dishes after dinner . He said he couldn't wash them because he had to hurry to school for a basketball game . Joe asked me , " Will you do the dishes for me , please ? I promise to do them for you tomorrow when it's your turn . I ____________________ get to school for the game . " I reluctantly agreed to do Joe's chore and washed the dishes after dinner . But the next night , Joe " forgot " that we had traded days . When I reminded him to
wash the dishes , he said , " Who , me ? It's not my turn . You ____________________ do the dishes tonight . It's your turn . "
I think I ____________________ write our agreement down when I do my brother Joe's chores , and I ____________________ give him a copy of the agreement . Joe has a short memory , especially if he has to wash dishes or take out the trash . I ____________________ write everything down . In fact , I ____________________ write out a weekly schedule . Then , we could write our names in and change assignments if necessary . That ____________________ solve the problem . I ____________________ remember to do that or he might " forget " to do the chores again .
