#9 DINNER, INTERRUPTED PANEL 1 Mr. Matheson smiles and sits at the table with his wife and son. Mrs. Angel Matheson, visibly irritated, places a steaming dish in front of him. ANGEL It's rare for us to have dinner together, so no distractions, okay? MR. MATHESON Of course, Angel! Tonight, it's all about family. PANEL 2 Mr. Matheson stares at the phone on the wall of the dining room as it RINGS in a dramatic shot filled with tension. MR. MATHESON Can't... ignore... PANEL 3 Mr. Matheson grabs the phone off the hook mid-leap, talking as he falls and his wife and son look on in shock. PHONE (FUZZY BUBBLE) zzz--Matheson... Emergency Arts Board Meeting at 7:00. Another unauthorized bluegrass band. *click* MR. MATHESON The Arts Board! They need me! PANEL 4 Mr. Matheson grabs his coat, running toward the door, with his wife visibly angry. MRS. MATHESON So... a distraction? MR. MATHESON Duty calls! Save me the leftovers! MRS. MATHESON I always do, dear.

“Dinner, Interrupted” – Mr. Matheson’s Arithme-TIPS for November 12, 2024

This week is all about family... The Matheson Family, in fact! We'll be exploring the ways in which Mr. Matheson attempts to balance his family with his drive to make Everly Heights the best darn community in Ohio. Sometimes, when we care a lot about something, it can make us miss the truly important things in front of us. Will Mr. Matheson learn to relax before the week ends? I guess you'll just have to come back tomorrow to find out.

Latch on to learning!
