My friend sat down with a huge slice of chocolate cake. I stared at him. “I thought you were on a diet.” “I am.” “Then why are you eating cake?” He smiled. “This is my cheat day.” “You’ve had three cheat days this week.” He nodded proudly. “I’m very committed.” “To the diet?” “No… to…

Where did everything go?” My sister smiled proudly. “I cleaned it.” Mom opened the closet. Every toy, book, and piece of clothing came crashing out like an avalanche. Mom stared. “So… this was your…
Mom was busy cooking. She shouted, “Can you put the chicken in the oven?” A minute later she walked into the kitchen… …and found me gently trying to push the chicken toward the oven. “What are you doing?” “You said to put the chicken in the oven.” “I meant the tray!” “Oh…” The chicken looked…
