Mom: Ray, this room is a mess! Just look at it!

There are clothes everywhere, and these socks on the floor, whew! You have to put them in the laundry.

Ray: I wore these socks only once, Mom.

Mom: Yeah, you wore them on Monday, and today is Friday. This room smells like a zoo. When was the last time you cleaned Willie's cage?

Mom: You have to clean up this room today.

Ray: Can I do it tomorrow, Mom?
