Monday night. Dinner and homework are done, and Chen from upstairs comes over with his toy cars. Blocks become a road, and cars, blocks and books end up all over the floor.

Mom says: clean up before the garbage truck, then we all go down together. Both kids say “Later!”—until Mom steps on a toy car. So many things… where to start? Star uses her task cards: cars, blocks, books. “One at a time!”

Chen’s toy box becomes a parking lot, and cleaning up becomes a race against the truck. When the truck music plays, the last car is parked. After Mom checks, everyone takes the trash and recycling down to the street—and Chen joins Star Squad.
