"What?!?" she exclaimed. "How - what - what is going on?!?"
Jon could only gulp.
"Uhh,Mom.Would you please hand me that rock."Jon asked.Trying to prevent any more wishes."Why?" she asked,and then handed it to him."I think there's something you need to know Mom."
So Jon began to tell her everything.The rocks power,Karyn's accidental wish,all of it.
"You expect me to believe that this rock grants wishes?"she asked."Yeah.I mean,look at the house.You wished it could clean itself,and now it does."Jon explained,not sure if she believed him.
He had enough trouble believing it himself.
"All right.Give me the rock."She told him.He did so,and then she went to her room,and he followed her.She placed the rock into a small jewelry box,and locked it.
"I have to think about this for awhile."she told him.
Hoping his Mother wouldn't do anything rash,he went back to eating his cereal,which had grown very soggy.
Meanwhile,his Mother pondered the possibilities,and dangers,of the rock.
