Lele's family had just bought a new stereo with a karaoke function that automatically scores the performance. One day after dinner, all three of them wanted to sing, but no one wanted to do the dishes.

Mom suggested, "How about we sing a song, and let the karaoke machine score it, and then we'll decide who does the dishes?" Both Lele and Dad agreed.

After each of them sang, Lele got the highest score, and Mom got the lowest. When Dad saw that his score was in the middle, he couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking, "I'm off the hook now, right?"

At that moment, Mom said, "I declare that we remove the highest and the lowest scores, and this time, the dishwasher is Dad!"
