Not too much happens to me that anyone would be interested in . My mundane events would put most people to sleep . I sleep , I get up , I go to work , I go home , eat supper and sleep again . During fall , winter & spring , we spend our evenings after work running our 9 year old around - Tae Kwon Do lessons , swimming lessons , baseball practices , games and weekend tournements .

Question: Why   does n't the narrator have to do all of the running around in the summer ?
Answer: They are able to get more sleep after supper this way .There are no after - school activities in the summer .Because evenings are a lot shorter in the summer than in the winter .Their offspring is able to drive themselves around in the summer .
