Every few minutes she glanced at the wall​ clock, with a worried twitch of her eyebrows.​ Davey, the​ 10-year-old, ran into the room and turned on the television. But the mother pushed past​ him, snapped it​ off, and gritted between her​ teeth, “You ​can't have that idiot box on ​tonight! ” He opened his mouth in​ surprise, then turned and ran out.
