Amy's Laziness (article#10)

Amy jogged happily to the house not knowing there was a test waiting for her arrival. Mom had left the entrance to the house untidy. Amy walked through the gates and saw that the entrance was very untidy. She went inside, changed her clothes, ran off to the parlour, turned the TV on and finally pounced on the sofa. Amy was actually the lazy type and mom's test was to check if Amy is doing any better. She later got hungry and sluggishly went to the kitchen just to find out that mom didn't scoop the food for her, neither did mom warm it. Due to her level of laziness, she finally ate the food without warming it. Mom had always prayed for a day she'll come back from work and see everything well tidied up. And today, it happened as usual; Amy slept on the sofa till mom came back. Mom looked sorrowfully at her sleeping Amy, remembered her late husband's effort to change her daughter and said in tears "why can't you pass this test for once?, so your father's effort isn't wasted"
