I was learning how to dress myself, but the sleeves were tricky and dinner was getting cold. "You know what," my father said, annoyed. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

I was learning to tie my shoes, but it was hard and we were in a hurry. "You know what," my mother said with a sigh as she took the laces from my hands. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

I was learning how to properly set the table, but I got the forks mixed up and family was walking in the door. "You know what," my aunt said absently. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

I was learning how to change a tire, but it was cold and dark and raining. "You know what," my boyfriend said angrily. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

She was learning how to make grilled cheese, but I had to take a shower and we both had homework. "You know what," I said, exhausted, to my sister. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

He was learning how to do laundry, but the clothes were piling up and the hours were getting short. "You know what," I said to my brother as I rolled my eyes. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

She was learning how to use PowerPoint, but the project was due soon and we still had a lot of work to do. "You know what," I said to my project partner, exasperated. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."

She was learning the new design program, but deadline was fast approaching and, as the department leader, any consequences for a missed deadline would fall on me. "You know what," I hurriedly said to my coworker. "Nevermind. I'll just do it."
