At 6:15 am after taking out the garbage, I return to find my 13-year old son excitedly crossing the floor to check texts on his phone. That done, he slumps into a chair, *appearing* exhausted.
I finish setting up the coffee and retreat upstairs to the office. He *follows* me into the office, looms behind me. "What?" I ask him.
"Can you get me a donut?" he asks.
"Get your own fucking donut! Show the same energy as when you checked your phone." I say.
