Musical Request
Megan was finally straightening her room after being nagged by her mother about it for days. Megan's mother had also asked her to clean out the closet to donate clothes to the community shelter. Although she liked donating her clothes, Megan always hated having to do the actual work of sorting through everything.
Halfway through cleaning her room, Megan decided that she needed some extra motivation. She plopped down on the floor and rifled through her CDs. This calls for some seriously loud beats, she thought. I can definitely get through this faster with a little musical distraction.
She popped a CD into the CD player and pumped the volume to nine, adding some extra bass for good measure.
Soon, she finished cleaning the room and moved on to the closet. She was so caught up in sorting her clothes into "keep" and "donate" piles and singing along the music that she did not hear the door open. She did not even notice her father standing by the door looking annoyed.
"Hey, Megs," he shouted, "Can you turn up the music? I can barely hear it!"
