| - “Jennifer! Raymond! Dinner’s ready!” called out my mom. Mom and her dinner. I swear, she must think that people want to have one every day, for no other reason than that the day has grown dim. “Hurry up, honey. I made dinner.” This time she is two feet away from me, but I pretend I can’t hear her. She raises her voice. “It’s dinner time! I made your favorite. I think it’s fish and some kind of soup.” “Hurry up, honey.” My mom is a bitch. “Hurry up, honey. Raymond’s already eating his Caesar's salad like a good little boy.” “Dinner is ready, Jennifer. Hurry up, honey.” I remain silent.

| - “Jennifer! Raymond! Dinner’s ready!” called out my mom. Mom and her dinner. I swear, she must think that people want to have one every day, for no other reason than that the day has grown dim. “Hurry up, honey. I made dinner.” This time she is two feet away from me, but I pretend I can’t hear her. She raises her voice. “It’s dinner time! I made your favorite. I think it’s fish and some kind of soup.” But I have other fish to fry. My character on WoozleQuest is only at level 13 and I have to make it to the Succubus Whore before Danny does. Also, this morning I forgot to erase my brother’s save data for Legend of Melba 2. Doing that could take up a whole minute of my life, but seeing the pathetic teary face of Gaymond will more than make up for my sacrifice of time. “Hurry up, honey.” My mom is a bitch. “Hurry up, honey. Raymond’s already eating his Caesar's salad like a good little boy.” “Mom, first of all, Raymond wouldn’t eat anything that has the word "salad" in it. I highly doubt he’s eating a Caesar's salad. Second, I thought you said you made fish and soup. Third, my name is Joshua and I’m a boy, for god’s sakes. Who the hell is Jennifer?” “Dinner is ready, Jennifer. Hurry up, honey.” I remain silent. “Okay, Jennifer. We’re going to Grandma’s House.” Dear god. Suddenly I feel a rush of heat sear my brain. I saved my game, quickly deleted Gaymond’s save data and went and ate dinner. It was pizza from Pizza Viking for me and a plateful of Snickers bars for Gaymond.
