After a stern reminder about the mowing, she said, “Johnny, I think you and I need to have a little chat right now down in the basement.” With a panicky glance over at Billy, Johnny replied, “Mom, please … not now … … give me another chance on that mowing .. please … I swear I’ll get to it first thing after it dries up.” “Not another word out of you, young man. I told you to do that mowing today before it started raining. I’m going to finish putting away these groceries. When I’m finished, we’re going down to the basement.” Johnny’s silence was answer enough. To distract him and try to humor Mrs Wilkins, Billy suggested they help put away the groceries. With three people working, it only took a few minutes.
