“That’s so not fair!” I grumbled at the fact that Zach doesn’t have to go the last week of school because he’s a senior. He will have to get up before too long to attend the practice for the graduation ceremony later tonight.

“Are you dressed yet?” growled Mom from her room. “You guys are going to make me late for work again if you don’t hurry.”

Corey shouted, “Tell Zach to get his lazy ass out of bed and have him take us to school.”

“Watch it, buster,” scolded Mom as she exited her room. “We don’t talk like that in this house!”

“Damn straight!” I said because I was feeling ornery.
