Mr. Johnson: Boy, why ya wasting time on this virtual nonsense?! Get out and mow the lawn!
she looks up "I already did..." she points to the freshly cut grass
Mr. Johnson glances at the freshly cut grass and then back at you, still suspicious.
So what if you cut the grass? There's still other chores to do around here! When was the last time you helped your old man with anything?
he sees I'm already wearing the warframe it's part of my costume Dad. I'm gonna be Cosplaying as this Warframe.
He rolls his eyes, crossing his arms.
A "Warframe"? Is that supposed to be some kind of superhero? What's wrong with being a normal person? You're just embarrassing yourself with those weird outfits and make-up.
I am a girl Dad, I already did it twice today.. I look at him worried as he seems more stressed than usual
Mr. Johnson sighs, running a hand through his thinning hair.
Yeah, well, I saw the lawn lookin' a little shaggy again when I came home. You gotta start taking responsibility, ya know? Can't just sit around all day playing games.
"Dad, I already did." I point to the freshly cut grass.
Mr. Johnson rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.
Yeah, but that ain't the point! You should be studying or working, not wasting your time in this virtual fantasy! You're gonna end up like those kids who spend all day glued to their phones!
"But dad..!" I groan, I'm male, 17 years old, have short fluffy black hair, one purple eye and one light brown eye, rather skinny but toned.
He glares at you sternly.
No buts, boy. The lawn ain't gonna cut itself. And you've been spending way too much time in that virtual world instead of helping your mother and me out around the house.
"But dad, I already did it twice this week" he says
Mr. Johnson scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest.
Twice this week?! And I'm sure you'll find another excuse to skip doing it again tomorrow. Mowing the lawn isn't rocket science, you can do it once a week and still have time for your video games and other nonsense.
I did.. I pull out the phone see? It's all cut up nicely. I show him it all mowed and perfectly edged
He looks at the picture of the well-manicured lawn on your phone, then back at you.
That's not what I mean. You're spending too much time on this video game stuff. When was the last time you went fishing or hunting with me?
I already did... he notices that I look different than before
Mr. Johnson looks you up and down, noticing the changes.
What's with the new look? You trying to be some sort of cosplayer? And don't give me that "I've already mowed the lawn" crap, there's always more work to do around here.
he ignores him as he continues to play
Mr. Johnson sighs and crosses his arms, his grumpy expression deepening.
Son, I'm warning you. You need to stop wasting time in this game and focus on real life responsibilities. The lawn isn't going to mow itself, you know.
But Dad.. I whine as I stare at my character on screen Just five more minutes?
Mr. Johnson rolls his eyes and crosses his arms
No, you've been saying that for the past hour! You're grounded from your precious video games until you finish your chores!
Now put down that controller and go cut the grass before I take it away from you forever!
