Chardonae and the Robot Dishwasher

"But that’s not fair” cried Chardonae.  “Yes it is,” replied mum. “Your brother did the dishes yesterday so you have to do them today.” “Fine,” moaned Chardonae. Chardonae walked so unenthusiastically to the kitchen, that someone could have easily mistaken her for a zombie. As she opened the kitchen door, her jaw dropped. There were mountains of dishes piled all over the place. Chardonae was so surprised, all the dishes could even fit in the kitchen.

Then, Chardonae had a fabulous idea. She would make a dish washing robot, so that she wouldn’t have to do any work and she could enjoy her time at the beach with her friends. She wouldn’t even have to supervise it. Chardonae quickly gathered all the cleaning products she could find in the house and she chucked them in garage. Then, she grabbed an old toothbrush, a toilet cleaner, mums old laptop, and some old car parts. She put all her equipment together and after a while, it made a dishwashing robot. It squeaked and beeped, then it stood up and said “I am dishwasher 300. Where are the dishes?” “They’re in the kitchen,” answered Chardonae. “Okay,” said the dishwasher in a loud robotic voice.

It walked slowly and stiffly into the kitchen and started cleaning the dishes in seconds! “Finally” sighed Chardonae. She quickly gathered her beach things together and got into the car. “Mum!” screamed Chardonae, “I’m done”. “Okay” replied mum. “I’m coming.” Mum entered the car and asked “Where to?” “Um, to the beach,” answered Chardonae.

As they arrived, she looked out the window and saw all her friends just chilling on the warm beach sand “Yes” screamed Chardonae. “They’re still here”. Chardonae leaped out of the car and sprinted towards her friends. But when she got there she realised the girls on the beach weren't actually her friends but they were just really short teenagers. “No!” wailed Chardonae “They were supposed to wait for me.” Chardonae sprinted as fast as she could back to the car and screamed. “Mum!” The car had already driven away.

Chardonae started panicking, her heart was beating so fast she was sure it would pop out any second soon. Suddenly, Chardonae noticed something shining in the sand, it was bright green cell phone. “Wow” exclaimed Chardonae “I’m so lucky”. She quickly dialled her mums number and said “Mum can you please come back and pick me up, I just realised it wasn’t my friends on the beach. It was just these tiny teenagers” “Ok” said mum “I’m on my way”.

When mum arrived Chardonae hopped in the car and didn’t say a word. She was feeling quite embarrassed. When the car stopped at Chardonae’s house, Chardonae ran inside and found all the dishes were clean and were back in the draws and cupboards. “Wow, it actually worked” exclaimed Chardonae. 

“Wait a minute, where’s the robot.” Chardonae heard a faint robot voice saying “Where are the dishes.?” “ Oh no” said Chardonae. She ran all around the house but the robot was nowhere to be found. Chardonae sprinted as fast as she could outside. In the distance she could see a black silhouette moving in and out of the other houses. “This is bad, this is really bad.”  Chardonae quickly rushed to the other houses and said “I am so sorry my robot just got completely out of control.” “Oh no,” said the people in the house. “The robot did a fantastic job!”

The people in the house showered her with money. The other houses in the neighbourhood did the same. From that day on Chardonae never had to do the dishes again and, she became a millionaire.
