Ransom Rubbage...

Gee, here is mom picking up the kids stuff for the gazillionth time...

Wait, what's this? I think mom has an idea...

It's called the ransom rubbage box.
If you leave your belongings out after one warning, mom takes it and puts it inside this box and you can't get it back until you draw a job from the envelope and do it!

Oh my, whats this? It looks as if Carson has failed to put his backpack away, well Carson, why don't you be the first to try out mom's ransom rubbage box!

He draws carefully and what does he get?

He's lucky, he got off pretty easy.

It sure is fun to watch!

I must admit it is working so far!
