Go to the Store

Before I watch more TV, Mom told me to do a chore for her. She needs me to go to the store.

She gives me a list of things to get. The list says:

• Cow milk (one gallon)

• Corn (three cans)

• One jar of grape jelly

• One carton of eggs

• Nine limes

• Turkey slices (one tray)

• One cake mix

• Plastic forks (for my brother's birthday party)

I know the store well. It was not a hard chore. And when I return with the stuff, she thanks me and gives me a big hug.
