“Matt and Mandy,” Friend, February 2017 Matt and Mandy I thought it was your turn to take out the trash. Nope. Did it all last week. Not when you had soccer practice. I swept the floor for you because— Whoa. Are chores becoming an issue again? Well, she … Well, he … Time for a family council. Later, at the end of family council … So, what have we decided? If we have a problem, we’ll talk it over. Help each other out. Even volunteer sometimes. I’ll improve the chore chart. And I’ll clean out the ice cream that’s cluttering the freezer! I’ll dish it up. I volunteer to eat it!
