About to fix my game, I flinched. My mom! She had come to tell me to get off the computer! It was her turn! The horror!
But then, she surprised me. "Jimmy, dry the dishes!" she screeched. Holding my hands to my ears I got up, and looked for the pause button. Where was the darnded thing? I thought. Unfortunately, there wasn't one. I had to leave without pausing.
Worried, I began to dry the dishes. First one, then the other. There were over thirty pieces of silverware. And ten bowls and ten plates and ten glasses. And six pans. All with covers. And then the three buckets from the vegetables from the garden. And the compost bucket. And they kept coming and coming... I didn't think I would ever get back to my game.
Then I thought of something very horrifying: I hadn't even saved my game!
