When Ethan arrived at home, he received quite a surprise. Although dinnertime had passed a long time ago, everyone was still waiting for him. He did not have dinner, but his parents, Hannah and Nuvian, were there waiting for him for some reason.
"I think it is a bit soon for my birthday party," Ethan said.
"You are late!" Hannah said, visibly angry. "That is not fair, Mom, Dad. When I was his age, you two never let me spend the whole weekend outside the home. Even if I had a good motive."
"I was working, you know," Ethan sighed. "I wasn't fooling around… Anyway, why are you guys waiting for me?"
"Your lecture can wait, I guess," Hannah said. "Sit. We need to test a few things."
