Mr. Thomas sat on the front porch of his house in a bathrobe and bunny
slippers with his head in his hands. He was holding the daily newspaper. The sun
shined brightly in the sky. His neighbors were coming out of their houses and getting
in their cars. Mr. Thomas sighed. His neighbor Mr. Rosencrantz stepped out on his
porch and saw Mr. Thomas. "Did it again, huh?" said Mr. Rosencrantz. Mr. Thomas
replied, "Yep." Mr. Rosencrantz chuckled and said, "Here, Mr. Thomas, you can use
my cell phone. I could even keep a key over here if you wanted." Tom thankfully
grabbed the cell phone and called his wife. "Honey, I did it again." Mr. Rosencrantz
heard Mrs. Thomas yelling at Mr. Thomas in a distorted high-pitched squeal. "Yes,
dear. I'm so sorry. I'll see you soon," Mr. Thomas returned the phone, sighed deeply,
and ran his fingers through his hair.
