"Come on BiLly - leAve that 'cos it's time to go!", called out Mum. Pause. "Oh, come along - we're leaving now". Billy banged the laptop lid down and shut his door with a clang. As Billy got in the car, he was muttering "What a noodle" and looking grumpy. "Don't you use your slang words on me", snapped his Mum. Not a lot of conversation occurred after that and Billy got out of the car still grumpy and without saying thanks for the lift. His Mum's day hadn't got off to a good start!
