Dad is home today. I will help my dad do things.

"Wake up, Dad," I say. "We have work to do."

Dad is sleepy. I make breakfast for him all by myself.

I am helping Dad. I cut the grass.

Oops! The mower got away! "Sorry, Dad," I say.

I wash the car just for Dad.

Who left the windows open?

I can paint. But Dad has to finish.

I see a bees' nest. "I will fix it, Dad," I call.

Dad is yelling something. "Run!" Dad yells. "Run!" I run fast.

We go to town, just Dad and me.

We buy gas. I say, "Dad, I can pump the gas." Dad pumps the gas.

We go to the store. I get stuff for Dad. "Too much, Dad?" I ask.

Dad needs a new hammer.

"This hammer really works! Sorry about the nails," I say.

W get a parking ticket. Dad does not look happy.

Dad says, "I am not mad, just not happy." I say, "That's fair, Dad."

We go home. Mom says, "The toilet is broken." "I will fix it," I say.

I can't fix it. I call Dad.

I forgot to turn off the hose. I say, "That's okay, Dad. Grass loves water!"

We have dinner. Then Dad and I watch a movie.

Dad is tired.

It's time to sleep. Dad tucks me in.

"Did I help you, Dad?" I ask.

Dad says, "Yes, you did. Thank you."

What a great day, just helping my dad!
