Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, there was a knock at Jon's bedroom door. And a second later, he heard his mom's voice.
"Jon, are you okay in there? I heard a crashing sound."
"I'm okay, Mom. Really. My, um, TV just fell off my desk."
"How did that happen? I mean, that old thing seems pretty stable. You know, maybe you should think about getting something a bit newer. I'm surprised that that old TV even works anymore."
Well, that settled it. It seemed that people's memories didn't change when he used the salt. That might be a problem. How was he going to explain to her how he got a 30" HDTV, DVD player and surround sound system? Eventually, she'd find out about it.
