My parents took a look at my homework, didn’t like what I was doing, took it off my hands and started angrily telling me to do something which blatantly contradicted your instructions. I tried to reason with them to no avail. We argued, ever more enraged, for four hours. Finally, tired and red with ire, they went to bed and forced me to do the same, leaving the notebook torn into pieces on the floor of the living room.
