Video transcript

Mum [mid-conversation]: ... Tomorrow? Really? I forgot about that.

Jack: Yeah, me too.

Dad: Hey let’s talk about Mum going back to work next week. I think the main thing is that when Mum starts working, we’ll need to pitch in a bit more around the house.

Mia: How long ‘til you start working?

Mum: Next Tuesday

Dad: So, Jack: you need to come home a bit earlier to take care of your sister and walk Ernie. Is that cool?

Jack: Yeah. I don’t think I have anything on after school on those days. So, I can do that.

Mum: And Mia, will you help Jack tidy up after school like we talked about?

Mia: Yep.

Dad: Cool. I’ll get all the shopping done and I’ll take you two to your evening classes.

Jake: What about the rubbish? Whose job is that now?

Dad: You want it?

Mum: Good for you Jack.

Jack: Awesome.
