If she starts with the ceiling fan the dust will get in the carpet.
If the dusts gets in the carpet she'll have to get the vacuum.
If she gets the vacuum chances are the bag will be full.
If the bag is full she'll go to the laundry room to get a new one.
If she goes to the laundry room to get a new one she'll see the clock and realize it's time for lunch.
After she makes lunch, she'll remember she was going to the laundry room for something.
If she walks into the laundry room she'll do a load of laundry.
If she does a load of laundry she'll see the top of the washer needs to be cleaned.
If she cleans the top of the washer she'll notice her cleaning spray is almost empty.
If her cleaning spray is almost empty she'll decide to clean off the dryer too so she can throw another bottle away.
If she throws another bottle away she'll need to take out the trash.
When she goes to take our the trash, she'll see the full vacuum bag.
So she'll get a new one and go back to the room she left the vacuum in.
If she goes back to the room she left the vacuum in she'll see the feather duster and wonder why she hasn't finished dusting.......
Why no task ever gets completed. Am I the only one whose days go like this?? And if the girls ask me a question while I'm walking from one room to another there's no way I'm remembering why I was walking into the other room.......
This of course is brought to you by a week of reading this line of books, just in case you've never heard of them.
Our favorite is If You Take a Mouse to School. When I was looking for activities for cause and effect, one site recommended reading these books. I was looking more for a scientific cause and effect, but it does get the concept of cause and effect across.
