The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With CHORES

[Music] when asked to do something that they hate most bears will procrastinate [Music] the Berenstain Bears and the trouble with chores by Stan and Jan Berenstain brother and sister bear were good about most things they kept up with their schoolwork they wore their safety helmets when they went biking and skateboarding they said please and thank you without being prompted papa bear was good about those things too he helped the Cubs with their homework he kept his tools sharp and shipshape he was always ready to help a neighbor but there was one thing that Cubs and Papa were not good about that was chores it wasn't that pop and the Cubs didn't want to do their chores it was just that they always seemed to have reasons not to do them and they had such good excuses you're right my dear said Papa the grass does need cutting hmm but a mama spider has been a wonderful web on the lawnmower and I haven't the heart to put all her hard work to waste hmm mama said brother may I skip setting the table tonight there's a TV show on the Ice Age and I have to do a report on the beasts of Baluchistan mama said sister I know it's my week to clean up little ladies calling cards it's just that I'm waiting for them to dry they'll be easier to scoop up that way there was also the endless bickering about who did what why is it complaining sister that brother gets the easy jobs like setting the table and I get the yucky ones like scraping the plates into the garbage easy easy protected brother setting that table is hard you've got to remember where everything goes the knives the spoons the forks wanna trade half sister no thanks set brother so it went argue are you bicker bicker mom aside if only pop it in the cups were as good as doing their chores as they were arguing about them life would be a lot easier and speaking of easier thought mama instead of nagging them about chores it would be a lot easier to do them myself and that's what she did she said and cleared the table she cleaned up after little lady she chased the dust bunnies from under the furniture there was also being honey to take care of not to mention the Cubs messy room the Cubs did pick up and put away sometimes Papa did cut the grass occasionally and the cops did chase the dust bunnies once in a while but when it comes to chores sometimes occasionally and once in a while don't count not surprisingly things began to slide everybody got a little grouchy especially mama something had to be done but what Papa decided to call a family meeting my dear he said I think yes said mama what had been thinking he continued is that we might want to relax a bit to ease up on the chores a little yes said Papa there's a lot more to life than chores there's walking in the sunshine enjoying Mother Nature and fishing in the old fishing hole there's riding bikes said brother and jumping rope said sister then to Papa and the cups.great surprise mama said you know something I think you're absolutely right you do said Papa I certainly do said mama with a slightly Minar eye I've been so concerned with the house that I haven't been to my quilting Club for weeks and with the Flower Show coming up I should be preparing my exhibit not worrying about spiderwebs that heat dust bunnies worked pretty well at first there were a few bad moments like when baby honey almost ate a bug but mama was her smiling self again she got back into quilting and began work on her Flower Show exhibit I was thinking of combining shasta daisies and silver moon roses what do you think dear she asked sounds fine to me said Papa who was working on his fishing gear mama said sister I'm crowing this grapefruit plant for school and there are so many dishes in the kitchen sink then I can't water it no problem said mama just water it in the bathroom upstairs sister stomped upstairs with her great boot planet mama said brother I left my marbles on the floor and now they're gone goodness said mama I must have sucked them up with the vacuum I do have to vacuum once in a while but one of them was my best shooter said brother oh I'm sure you can find them by emptying the vacuum bag said mama but but sputtered brother now if you'll excuse me said mama I'm off to my quilting Club some household tasks got done beds got made more or less Niels got served sort of but baby Messi build up began to take over the treehouse what towels piled up in the bathroom fruit flies hovered over dishes in the kitchen and sink the pictures on the wall got crookeder and crooked ER and there was a whole army of dust bunnies under the sofa there were so many bird crumbs in the bottom of the toaster oven that the whole kitchen smelled burnt a strange green mold grew on the shower curtain and a thousand lager came swimming towards sister in the bathtub yes brother was having fun riding his bike sister was having fun jumping rope Papa brought home some fine fish and Mama finished her beautiful new quilt but living in all that messy build-up wasn't much fun and one day when mama was off at the garden club Papa decided to call another meeting no sooner had the meeting didn't called to order then everybody was talking at once and they were all saying the same thing we've got to do something about this awful mess and they did they picked up all the way down they got the dishes out of the sink and they straighten the pictures they cleaned out the toaster oven Spanish the dust bunnies and scrub the shower curtain then they sat down exhausted and pleased and waited for mama to come home well she said when she returned everything is set for the Flower Show and I think there's a good chance I may win an award pop in the Cubs waited for her to notice what they had done but all mama did was take off her yellow going-out hat and put on her blue at home duster mama said sister haven't you noticed anything mama looked around and smiled you mean how the whole house is neat and clean and all the chores are done yes I noticed with that she gathered the Cubs into a big bear hug and gave Papa a great big kiss [Music]
