Oh like dishes every night, sweeping and mopping the floor, homework every night, helping with the laundry and keeping the house straightened. She kept asking what else? Like she was looking forward to all those chores.

Do they make a child size broom and dustpan set I wonder?

They for sure have a child size broom and dust pan! Bug has one, we got it at Toys R us.
