Breaking point
But one day while he was at home playing in his room, he heard a large argument break out between his mom and dad. It was about the usual subject, the fact that Sam could not take more time off work to spend with the family. Sammy thought it was just the same old story.
But then he heard that his mother was going to be leaving the house for a week or so to go on vacation. She had been planning this for a while and it seemed like she was fed up with being the only person to look after both the house and Sammy. She was going to teach Sam a lesson.
