John's mother was tired. She had danced all night at the witch'es ball and her feet hurt. She wanted to call her friend Mrs. Hearnes, but she had heard Mrs. Hearnes' phone was disconnected. As she settled in for a long day of resting, she feared boredom would come calling because boredom was one caller who was never late no matter what the cause no matter what the hour no matter what the day. So instead of giving in to boredom, she turned on Johns's television and waited for "Mr. Burns's Daily Report" to begin.
