Jon was at home playing video games. His mom continually told him to clean his room and take out the garbage, but he ignored her.
However, after Karyn's wish, he was no longer playing video games. Instead, he was cleaning his room. Then after that, he took out the garbage. Then, he cleaned the rest of the house. Housework was a man's job. And since Jon's father wasn't around, that job fell to him.
