                               A boring Sunday

The Kids are grounded and it really affects The Younger the most. He kept
hanging around me, which is a sure sign that he's bored.

“So let me guess,” I said. “You're bored.”

“Yup.”

“Well, look behind you,” I said. We were both in the kitchen at the time,
with The Younger standing in front of the kitchen sink. He turned to face the
sink, which was full of dishes. I nodded towards the sink.

“But I'm not that bored,” he said.

Later on in the day, he got that bored and did the dishes without prompting.
