After I finish eating, I look at my plate.
There are crumbs and a little sauce left.
I pick it up with both hands carefully.
I walk to the kitchen with a smile.
I scrape the leftovers into the trash.
Then I place the plate gently in the sink.
Sometimes I rinse it with a little water.
Mom says, “Thank you for helping!”
I feel proud to clean up after myself.
Putting my plate away is part of growing up!
