I was bored, really, really bored. My toys were boring. Television was boring. My games were boring. Everything was boring. Even my sleeping dog, Muffy, was boring, I needed something exciting to do! My mother was busy writing a letter so I didn't want to disturb her. I had to think of a way to get her attention. I put on my most boring face and spoke to her in my most bored voice, "Mom, I'm bored, really, really, really bored." She looked at me for a long time over the top of her glasses.
