Who opened Pandora's box?

Mom wakes up. Early. Morning is chilly. Mom's happy. Makes breakfast. Packs lunch. Wakes up son.

Boy's hair looks like Tovio (*). Boy hates hair gel. Boy and mom wrestle for the application of gel on Tovio's hair.

Boy forgot to do his homework. Boy starts doing homework.
Keys: nowhere to be found.
Dog thinks  leash is item of play when it's leash or kennel... leash wins.

Driver's seat inexplicably all out of place, trying to click it right, but goes too far, too close, too far, too close... Mom's resigned to drive uncomfortably.

Carpool friend reminds boy of another homework he forgot. Spirits go down. Mother shouts: you can do it!

Boy writes in moving car. Dog cries because window cannot be open, since wind would mess with boy's homework AND tamed hair.

Mother parks car in front of school Boy continues homework. Finishes: 8:06. Four minutes to get guitars in music room and get to class on time...

(Sigh...)

Monday was chilly... but mother has got a heatstroke.
Mother... needs... Friday...

(*) Tovio- Real boy whose death inspired the creation of Astroboy.
