"There's not much on tonight" Dad said as he settled in his armchair flicking through the programs.

Johnny shook his head, "I've got homework to do, I'll be in my room", so sister Sue poked her tongue out at him as he slunk off to his room.
"It's a bit cold in here tonight love, perhaps we need the heater on, look how the curtains are blowing in the draft" Dad said to Ma.
"Perhaps the windows are still open, I'll just check...Johnny!, Johnny come back down here at once, you've been playing ball in the garden again, haven't you?

ReplyDeleteTypical reaction from a child that knows he's in trouble and avoiding the consequences as long as possible, yet, being miserable the whole time! Great story.
