Harry Potter is Not a Fan of UK Basketball, the Jerk

Watching UK basketball is a tradition in our household for three reasons: my parents went there, my dad thinks Coach Cal is a real person and the players are really talented. So we're sitting in the sun room, just kinda chilling, watching the game when all of a sudden on a commerical break my dad turns off the tv. I, appalled, turned to ask what the crap he was doing when he was glaring at Olivia. You see, my sister isn't a fast reader like my dad and me and she has set a goal to finish the last four Harry Potter books in 9 weeks (she goes to CV, so they still have AR). She had 90 pages left in the 6th book that day and she conviently sat next to the tv with her book open but instead of reading, she was watching the game. So, when my dad turned off the tv for the commerical break, she looked up at my dad with the exact same incredilous look I was giving him. He said to her, "If you don't read two pages before the end of the commercial break, you won't watch this game." She finished the two pages, but when my dad turned on the tv, Uk was up by four more points. My mom and I gave Olivia a frustrated look. If you ask me, she should have gone in the other room. This continued about two more times before the game ended. Needless to say, I will not allow her to watch the next game if she has not finished the last two books. GO UK!
