Don't say you're bored.
Mother will hear you.
In English, that is her least favorite word.
She doesn't mind "No" or "Won't" but
she hates "bored". When I heard it first,
I thought it referred to a piece of wood,
an easy mistake to make,
but now I know there is no such plank
as this vagueness of mind and purpose as "bored".
So take care you not say said heinous phrase
for mother will make you scrub the grout light bulb white
with a toothbrush if you do.
As surely as little green apples exist, it will happen to you.
