My Roommate is Kind of Spoiled
I can’t believe we’ll be living together!
I can’t believe we’ll be roommates!
I'm so excited! We are going to the same university!
Look at this space. Our apartment is so big! We can have so much fun here. We’ll [vocab word=invite]invite[/vocab] friends, play games, party all night...
Yes. But, Miley, we can’t have parties all night. We have school, and we must study as well...
Yeah, I know. But, we’ll have so much fun!
For sure. Well, the first order of business is to choose the room. You can take the master bedroom, Miley. I’ll take the second bedroom. I don’t have too much stuff anyways.
Ow, Brent. You're such a gentleman.
Now, we need to divide the work.
No! [vocab word=housework]Housework[/vocab]. Who does the cooking, cleaning, and laundry?
How about I cook on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays? And you cook on the other days?
But I don’t know how to cook.
It doesn’t have to be [vocab word=complex]complex[/vocab]. Just simple dishes are fine.
Does [vocab word=instant noodle]instant noodles[/vocab] count?
No! Simple pasta, sandwiches, or pizzas are fine.
[vocab word=never mind]Never mind[/vocab]. I’ll just cook. For cleaning, maybe you can [vocab word=mop]mop[/vocab] the floor. And [vocab word=vacuum]vacuum[/vocab], too. I can [vocab word=dust]dust[/vocab] the house and clean the bathroom.
So, you want me to mop the floor, then vacuum the floor?
No! You vacuum the floor first, then mop the floor.
Oh, okay. I can try. There’s a first time for everything, right?
Never mind. I’ll just vacuum and mop the floor. You can wash the dishes, then.
That’s easy. But, I couldn’t find the [vocab word=dishwasher]dishwasher[/vocab]. Should we call the [vocab word=landlord]landlord[/vocab]?
Never mind… Didn’t you do any housework at home?
Well, my mom did all the cooking. Our [vocab word=housekeeper]housekeeper[/vocab] did all the cleaning and [vocab word=laundry]laundry[/vocab]. And we always used a dishwasher.
(Mutters to himself) Such a [vocab word=spoiled]spoiled[/vocab] child...
Okay, Miley. That’s fine. I'll do the cooking and cleaning. You do the ... your things.
Maybe I should take the master bedroom…
