My Run-In With a Psycological Barrier
When i wanted to hang out with my friends, I asked my parents. They said that I had to mow the lawn before I could go, but I had just mowed the lawn 4 days ago. Between my dad, my brother and me, we mow our lawn three times a week. I thought that if I missed a day, it would be no big deal, so I got mad and started arguing. I did not end up being able to hang out with my friends and instead got grounded.
