Activities
When Scott woke up this morning, he discovered that his
toddler had thrown up in her crib last night. He, therefore,
cleaned her bedding up before he chowed down on
breakfast. While he was tucking into his food, however, his
daughter started acting up. She just suddenly broke down
and threw a tantrum on the kitchen floor. After falling
apart for only a few minutes, the tantrum blew over and
his daughter calmed down. Scott then finished eating and
logged onto his computer. But, before he could access the
Internet, the computer blew up. Scott looked the phone
number up, called for technical help, and told the IT
technician off. He only eased up when the tech threatened
to put him on hold.
