LJ Idol, Exhibit A: Week 3: Busted (Shenanigans!)
“Really honey? It’s two o’clock in the afternoon. “
“C’mon, mom! What’s summer for if not to stay up really late and sleep away the morning?”
“Well, for starters, I expect your chores to get done, sleepover or no.”
“I’ll get ‘em done! I still have all day.”
“Oh, you better bet you’ll get ‘em done. So, did you have a good time? What did you do all night?”
“Just watched creepy movies and pigged out on junk food. You know, usual sleepover stuff.”
“Really? Then why didn’t anyone pick up the phone when I called?”
“. . . You must’ve called when we were out. Jamie’s parents took us to that one theater that does the late-night horror flicks.”
“Funny, Jamie’s dad didn’t say anything about that when he called me last night.”
“Maybe he just forgot to mention it?”
“Mm-hm, like maybe you forgot to mention that Jamie’s parents were out of town last night? Seems they were under the impression that Jamie was staying with us.”
“. . . “
“Was it a fun party?’
“. . . yeah.”
“Good. ‘Cause that was your last one for a long time.”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Now, go put your things away. There’s a list of extra chores on your bed, since you’ll have lots of time at home this summer. I suggest you don’t waste any time getting to them. And since you didn’t tell me the truth when I gave you the chance, I’ll be thinking of a few more shortly.”
