This is Herbert. Herbert hates doing his homework. Every week Mrs. Jones sends him with work to do over the weekend. THE WEEKEND! The weekend use to be a time for friends and Will Smack movies (like Men in White 3: The Alien Stain). Anyways it should be clear that Mrs. Jones is a super vile woman indeed.

It’s Sunday night now and our friend Herbert’s mom has just told him it’s homework time, or else no video games this week. Honestly his mom and Mrs. Jones might be in cahoots, but who knows I’m just the narrator. Herbert is a master of procrastination; washroom breaks, snacks and the internet. Poor boy doesn’t have a chance.

Can you help Herbert overcome all the distractions so he can focus on his homework before bedtime? It might not be saving the world, but this poor boy might lose video games for the week if you don’t do something. If you can’t stop his inevitable fate, perhaps you can at least delay it.
