Then don’t verbalize saying you’re bored, Jason, within your mother’s earshot.

I would rather be bored than work in the garden – but I’d keep it quiet.

I"d rather work in the garden than do nothing. I can hear mine calling to me now….through the rain and cold….

Maybe you could sabotage the garden and save yourself from some beetloaf!

Don’t bother Jason, Andy, when he’s vegging out…

And he’s not even grounded. Or, y’know, ungrounded.

Never say that you’re bored, because that’s when the parents will pounce with a list of jobs to do around the house or outside.
