What do most Americans spend most of their time doing. Can you imagine removing that device from your home? Well neither can but for some reason Planet Earth dad decided to cut back. “What are we going to put in its place?” My little sister asked.
“How bout we put a new painting there every few hours,” I said sarcastically. I was mad, what twelve year old wouldn’t be when their parents decided to grow long beards and wear wide brim black hats. I decided to make a coffin and tell my mom to rent a hearse. What was I going to do with no red sox, no sportcenter no notihng. What was the point of even having a couch. Let me guess so we could talk I think not, I'm a teenager.
