Laundry Day at the Millers
The Miller family is huge. The family consists of
Mr and Mrs Miller, and their seven children. All
the Millers live in the same household. Mrs Miller
got everyone to agree that they would share
responsibility for the laundry. The younger children
are responsible for collecting the laundry, and the
older ones actually do the laundry: adding the
detergent, switching on the washing machine,
and hanging out the clothes. Mrs Miller wants
the family to take the same approach with
all the chores.
