The chores board trophy

So we have a chores board in the house, it was originally meant to be a reminder to myself/the boys (by boys I mean 35 and 32 respectively) about what needs to be done in the house.

Over time, it has evolved into a challenge, competition and now, there’s a league board. A decision was made to get a trophy for the winner of the monthly league (apparently). 

E: “Should I find one, or do you want to decide?”

C: “Fuck it. Just get one. Get one right now. There’s one on my list”

E: “This one? With stars?”

C: “Yes, they make it special.”

E: “Is it plastic though?”

C: “Well, yeah, I’m not paying over £6 for an in-house trophy.”

E: “It has to be a proper one! I’ll get it. And I’m getting a proper tin one for the same price.”

C: “You won’t find one for £6″

E: “Yes I will. Shuttup” *frantically typing on his phone*

C: “You won’t! You’re telling me you’re going to find a tin trophy, for under £6?”

E: “Yes! I found it, I’m getting it now. Right now.”

C: “For £6?!”

 E: “Yep! No. Ok, it’s £17, but.”

C: Are you singing Taylor Swift?

E: No, idiot, it’s Sesame Street
