Chores

"You're going out again?"

"Uh, yeah? It's Friday night! I always go out Friday night."

"You always go out any night. It's you're turn to do the dishes."

"Meh, the dishes can wait. They're not going anywhere. The night will."

"The dishes have been waiting since yesterday. It's disgusting."

"Well, then you do it. It's not like you go out anyway."

"No, I already did it last time. We agreed to split the chores around here. It's your turn. Besides I have a class project to work on."

"Alright, alright. Look, I'll do it first thing after I come back, OK?"

"Not OK! That's exactly what you said the last time. And the time before that. You're doing it now!"

"Sheesh, don't blow a fuse over some unwashed plates, dude!"

"Funny you should say that ..."

"Huh, what do you ... um why are you pointing the TV remote at me?"

"It's your remote."

"My wha- Command received. Disabling Teen AI. Robot mode engaged. Opening access panel."

"Sigh. How do you program a sense of responsibility? Anyway. I like you better this way. Hm ... On second thought, the dishes CAN wait. I have a different project to work on and it's taking place on my bed. Follow me."

"Acknowledged."
