Bat | 1 clap | 1 syllable |
monkey | 2 claps | 2 syllables |
forever | 3 claps | 3 syllables |

I then do the lunge and vacuum the whole house and then go downstairs to help my mum. Downstairs I help make the beds, sweep the floor and vacuum it. I then hope when I ask my mum for a rest she will say yes. Guess what she said, NO!! “But I did so many things for you today”, I said. “I don’t care, you still got to help me!!”, she said. UGH! Just straight UGH in her face!!!!!
I then finished helping her and asked again can I Go now and have a rest and play some games, and then she FINALLY said yes you can. I was so happy, because I always clean for her and do her mess but it’s ok, she just needs help that's why.
