“What shall we do, Dad?” Sue asked.
“Sorry, Sue, I have work to do. Maybe we can play after lunch?” Replied Dad.
“OK.” Said Sue.
First, Dad washes the dishes. “Can I help, Dad?” Asked Sue. “Sorry, Sue, maybe when you are taller.” Said Dad. Sue watches because she cannot reach. Dad used sponge to spread soap around the dishes, then he sprays the soap off with water.
Then, Dad cleans the blue rug. “Can I help, Dad?” Asked Sue. “Sorry, Sue, maybe when you are bigger.” Said Dad. Sue watches because the machine is too big. Dad pushes the vacuum cleaner back and forth across the blue rug.
After that, Dad washes dirty windows. “Can I help, Dad?” Asked Sue. “Sorry, Sue, maybe when you are older.” Said Dad. Sue watches because the windows are too high. Dad wipes the dirty windows with a wet towel.
By lunchtime, Das is worn out from working. Sue is worn out from watching. What can Sue do? Then, she has a great idea. Sue invites Dad to her room for lunch.
“Dad, would you like to come to my room for lunch?” Asked Sue.
“Yes, please.” Replied Dad.
Dad pulls the small purple chair out of the pink tea set table, and sits down. Dad can just fits on Sue’s little chair. And Sue can reach everything. It is the best lunch ever.

A Day with Dad

Today Sue’s mon was in an important meeting, which means that it was going to be a day with dad.

First dad said, “Let’s start with some work. What work do you want to do?”

“Can we wash the dishes?” Sue asked.

“Sure,” answered dad.

They walked to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Dad gave Sue a plate. Sue tried to reach the sink, but instead she accidentally spilled a bowl of soup that went in the sink with water pouring down.

“Why don’t you watch for now?” Dad asked.

“Okay,” sighed Sue. She was very sad. She really wanted to help. Sue felt like crying, but she held her tears. Finally, she could no longer hold back her tears. A tear started to run down her cheek. She wiped her tears with a tissue and sat up straight.

“It’s OK.” She told herself. As Dad washed the dirty dishes, She watched and firmly wishing the next thing they were going to do, she could do it, too.

Next, they decided to clean the carpet. She tried to push the big machine, but no matter how hard she tried to push, it never works. So, she watched. When dad is done, he saw Sue looking out the window. Then, he asked, “Would you like to help me wash the window?”

Sue smiled a bit, but she shook her head. “The window is too high for me.” She said. So, she watched. It’s almost lunch time when Dad was done. Sue was worn out from watching, and Dad was worn out from working.

“What can I do for both of us to be able to reach everything?” Sue wondered.

Then she knew what to do. She called her dad to have lunch in her room. Dad can fit in the chairs in Sue’s room. And Sue can reach everything! She liked lunch that day. And after lunch, they played. Everyone could reach everything! It was the best afternoon with Dad, even though the morning was not as fun.

A Day with Dad
Today is Saturday which is normally Sue’s family fun day. But Sue’s mom has a meeting unexpectedly. Sue feels so disappointed. In the meantime, Sue and Dad will spend the day together. Sue wonders what they will do. She is trying to make some fun with Dad.
Sue’s mom just left for her meeting. She runs to Dad asked,” Dad, what are we going to do for fun?”
Dad thinks a while, “ En, I think we should do some chores together. When Mom get back home, she will be super happy with a clean house.”
Sue imagines Mom’s big smile on her face. So, she is excited to shake Dad’s hands, and says,” Yes, Dad! Let’s do it!”
Dad looks so serious to say,” How about we start with washing the dishes?”
Sue is hoping back and forth, “ Yes! Yes! Yes!”
First, Dad washes the dishes. Sue watches and really wants to help. So, she shakes Dad’s arm and asks,” Dad, Can I help? I wanna help as well.” Dad looks at her and looks back at the washing sink, sadly says,” I think it is hard for you to reach the sink, maybe you can watch me how to wash first. So, you can learn how to wash. Help me when you can reach the sink.”
Dishes were quickly washed clean and shiny.
Then, Dad looks around the living room. He suddenly found a big strain on their blue rug.
Dad talked with Sue,” Look at here, Baby!i think I know what to clean next! Could you help me to pull the machine out?” Sue stands at attention with a salute,” Yes, Dad!” But unfortunately the machine is too big to pull out. Sue’s tears fill in her eyes. She feels regret that she cannot help any. But, she tried her best to hold her tears and watches. Dad notices Sue’s upset. So, he asks Sue to help washes dirty windows again. This time she looks super calm. She knows the windows are too high to reach. So she just keep watching Dad.
By lunchtime, Dad is worn out from working. Sue is worn out from watching. Sue wonders,” What can I do? I should do something I can handle.” Then, she has a great idea. Sue whispers with Dad,” Dad, I have surprise for you. Come on with me!” Sue invites Dad to her room for lunch. Dad can just fit on Sue’s little pink chair. And Sue can reach everything. Absolutely, Sue’s lunch is more delicious than anything else. Dad said,” Thank you, sweetheart. It is the best best lunch ever. I love it so much.”
After lunch, Mom comes back home. She looks so tired. Sue gives Mom a BIG hug and shows mom the whole clean house. Smile get back to mom’s face again.
It is the best day to Dad, Mom and Sue together.
