m on his computer. Myfather has lost his cool, and is now screaming at the computer, hoping his angry antics willhelp make the computer respond to him. Ive seen this happen before. I just wish for once he would have to struggle aloneand figure it out for himself, I mutter. So, before he can see me, I try to sneak past thestudy door. But as I step by it, the floorboards creak and I am staring face to face with mydad. His red face and wild eyes pretty much sum up his mood, and he seems about ready toexplode.Tom, can you come in here and try to figure out this computer, he mutters. I let outa big breath of air, knowing I am caught with nowhere to go. So I nod my head and enterthe room. My dad is very frustrated as he watches me try to fix the disaster he has left me. So, as I also get more agitated, there is a lot of tension in the room. My mom just happensto walk by as the dialogue between me and my father gets very animated and close to out ofcontrol.Ahem, dinner time, my mom yells, right now! So the computer sits unfixed forawhile as me and my father go to the kitchen table to eat. Although seconds ago we wereready to explode at each other, my mothers impeccable timing helps avoid a potentialdisaster. After dinner, I run outside before my father has a chance to yell for me. I go tomy friends house to play Monopoly, while my father has to struggle to fix the computer byhimself.Anything Else?Its Friday afternoon, about 4 p.m. I am taking a nice, little nap, although I amsupposed to be baby-sitting for Nick and A.J. So they are running around throughout thehouse, causing havoc as they went. A phone call awakens me. The voice says, how oftendo you use Ajax Cleaner to clean your bathroom or kitchen? Ugh, its one of thosetelemarketers, so naturally, I hang up the phone and resume my nap position. But no morethan twenty seconds after I hang up the phone, it rings again. This time it is my father.Hello, son, how are the kid...
