0 Laziness rarely hurts only the lazy one. 1 Ruby in Christchurch didn't feed her rabbit because it was raining, and told Mum she had. 2 Mum saw the empty bowl and the hungry rabbit. 3 Ruby cleaned the hutch on Saturday, said sorry, and fed him every day after. 4 Pets can't tell you they're hungry, so you must remember for them. 5 Homework went three ways. 6 The first time Ruby didn't start it, the teacher never asked, and she thought she always could skip it. 7 The second time she got four out of twenty in spellings and her planner came home to be signed. 8 The third time the teacher called her parents in; there was a row at home and the console went away for a week. 9 Ruby sulked — «It's not fair, everyone forgets sometimes!» — and wouldn't speak to Dad at tea. 10 The next day she said sorry, and Dad helped her make a homework plan: same time every day, before screens. 11 Getting away with it once had not made it safe; the bad mark and the lost console were consequences, not revenge. 12 When Gran was away, Ruby forgot to water her plants and then didn't bother. 13 Gran was sad, and Ruby felt it all week. 14 She confessed it at church, felt the weight lift, and then did what the priest said: told Gran herself and bought her a new plant with her own money. 15 A pet depends on you every day for food and water; it can't remind you. 16 Hiding mess, like dirty socks under the bed, makes it grow, not vanish. 17 Practice is often boring, but it is what makes you better. 18 A bike left in the rain can rust, which costs more than putting it away. 19 Skipping homework once without being asked does not mean it is safe to skip it again. 20 A bad mark, a signed planner or a lost console are consequences meant to teach, not revenge. 21 Feeling cross after a consequence is normal, but making a plan to do better is still your job. 22 Toys left on the floor can trip someone, especially little children. 24 Starting is usually the hardest part of a job. 25 When one tired person clears up alone, the jobs take longer and the family loses time together, like reading before bed. ← previous Going where you're not allowednext → Homework, practice and the team counting on you↑ back to Everyday This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/350-chores-you-skipped/
