I always have had chores to do around the house, but this year I have more to do than ever before. The first thing that happened was that I got my first pet! Jeff, the gerbil, was a gift from my aunt, whose pet gerbil, Fluffy, had babies. I got Jeff in April and since then I have had total responsibility for his feeding and care. I have to be sure he has water and food everyday. I also have to clean his cage every week and shred newspapers for the bottom of his cage. But the best part of this job is that I have to play with him everyday so that he gets plenty of exercise. My mom also expects me to take care of my little brother for a little while every day. Mainly, this means going into his room and playing with him for 30 minutes just before dinner. My mom asked me to do this so she can fix dinner without having to worry about Patrick. Patrick is only three, so I play kids’ games with him like Memory, or I read a book to him, or sometimes we watch a video. During this time, I’m the only one who takes care of him. Sometimes, I have to feed him or take him to the bathroom. I like taking care of my brother, and my mom really appreciates it. Taking care of Jeff and Patrick is making me more responsible.
