Mama Bear

This week at work I read Berenstein Bears Learn to do Chores to a nearly-three year old. She brought it out for me to read. Berenstain Bear books are rather lengthy so I summarized it.
Sorta.
Perhaps it was fatigue, boredom or just my wacky sense of humor, but the story went something like this...

Papa Bear works a lot and Sister Bear and Brother Bear never clean up their messes. This makes Mama Bear sooooo tired. Mama Bear works hard all day and she is just so tired of cleaning up after so many bears.
One day Mama Bear said Enough! You two bears are going to have to help me clean up!
Brother and Sister Bear grumbled about this. Papa Bear came home and he was just too tired to argue, b/c Papa Bear works a lot in the spring.
Mama Bear threatened to take away all the toys in the house.
So Brother Bear and Sister Bear learned to clean up their messes.
Mama Bear was soooooo happy. Mama Bear just gets so tired after working all day.
Brother and Sister Bear know how important it is that Mama gets plenty of rest, especially after a long day at work.
They want Mama Bear to be happy.

Otherwise she might move to Australia.
