What Is Important?

Yes, I am drowning in papers, pencils, and books. Just add to that stack.

No, I did not do the assignment, because I had other homework to finish and I decided what was more important.

Clearly not your class.

Yes, I did take out the trash, do the dishes, and let out the dog. Can I study now?

No, I did not do the laundry, because I was busy studying for a test, which is more important.

Don't you think it's important?

Yes, I will come in early, because I really need the money.

No, I will not stay late, because I have to study and get a good night's sleep.

What is a good night's sleep?

If only I could be in two places at once.
