It was a peaceful Friday for the Jones family. Nothing happened until now...which was very unusual. Everyone was looking forward to the weekend. Not that they had anything special planned, but after five days of office work, school, and waking up early in the morning to do all the household chores...who doesn't want a restful weekend?

Dinner was over and everyone was preparing for bed. Mrs. Jones went to use the toilet. She switched on the light and closed the door. Mr. Jones at that time just came out from a long nice bath. There were two switches on the switchboard and Mr. Jones turned off the left one.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was a screaming followed by Mrs. Jones' voice, "What, it's you again, isn't it? I told you, the bathroom switch is on the right side, and the toilet switch is left..."

Mr. Jones smirked.

'Why is father like this?'

The Jones were now at the breakfast table. Mrs. Jones just served hot pancakes for everyone with milk and coffee. Along with that, there was bread toast and raspberry jam.

"Mom, can you please give me some toast?", asked Sophie.

"Sure. I'll go get some for you", Mrs. Jones smiled and went to get prepare some bread toast.

On the other hand, Mr. Jones just extended his plate and was not saying anything. "Do you need something, Dad?", Greg asked.

"Toast", was all Mr. Jones said.

"Yeah, she is bringing some for me. I'll ask her to prepare some for you too", Sophie went to the kitchen and started helping her mother.

Mr. Jones didn't look happy with the answer. The other three siblings watched him curiously. He was holding his breakfast plate at a 90° angle. Then it went to 60°, then 45°, and then he kept his plate on a small slat pot. The boys looked at their father, mouths wide open.

Mrs. Jones and Sophie came back. "You know, you could've waited for me to prepare the toast...", Mrs. Jones complained serving the toasts. "Oh! Right, I've something else...I'll just bring it." Mrs. Jones again went to the kitchen.

At the breakfast table, Mr. Jones again held his coffee mug. This time he wanted coffee but as usual, he didn't say anything. Instead of keeping the coffee mug on top of the salt pot, he chose the ketchup bottle this time. The children didn't notice any of this thing. They were busy deciding what movie they were going to watch today.

"...why are we going to watch that again? We've seen it like 1000 times already", complained Eddie.

"Yes, but I want to...Dad, look!!!!!", screamed Sophie.
