The upside of down;

I absolutely hate it when my mother makes e stay home to "clean"
We cleaned absolutely nothing on Saturday.
We sat around and did nothing.

Then on Sunday we cleaned the car.
And I got sun-burn.

I mean, I could have went to the zoo with Lindy and Megan.
I could have done something besides get sun-burn, but alas, no one can change the past.

Why does my mother lie to me like that?
