Alex slumped into his desk chair and quickly finished the remainder of his home work, finding solace in the conformity of numbers. Shortly after Alex finished with his homework, his dad came into the room.

"How's it going Boo?" said Alex's dad, leaning against the doorframe.

"Ugh, don't' call me that dad," Alex tried ineffectually to shove his dad into the hallway.

"Fine, fine," Alex's dad said, putting his hands in the air, "I just wanted to tell you that dinner was ready."

"I'll be right there," Alex admonished. As soon as his dad left the room he went into a flurry of action, tidying up his desk and shoving his homework in his backpack. Once his room was in order, he turned off the lights and went to dinner.
