Annoyed， Jeff finally said， “All right.Anyway， washing clothes is a piece of cake.” “Sure，” I said， knowing he’d soon regret his words.Then， Jeff began his washing work.Since he had seen us washing clothes by hand several times， he knew the steps.After adding many drops of laundry detergent， he used his hands to wash the clothes and said it was truly easy.However， when he began rinsing the clothes， he met a challenge.After he rinsed the clothes several times， the water still looked dirty， having lots of bubbles. 　　At 9 pm， Jeff was still struggling to rinse （漂洗） the clothes， realizing the work wasn’t easy at all. “Do you still think washing the clothes a piece of cake？” Dad asked.Jeff shook his head， embarrassed.Then， I helped him finish the remaining work of rinsing and drying.After that， inspired by me and Dad， Jeff shamefully apologized to Mom for previously shouting at her.Mom smiled at us， glad about Jeff’s change.After that day， we continued to encourage Jeff to do housework.Now， he loved doing it； we were proud he grew to be an understanding kid. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
