Screen-time rules and arguments, sentence 1
«Five more minutes!» «You said that twenty minutes ago.» «That was a different five minutes!» Kai's dad finally sat him down on a Sunday, when nobody was in the middle of a game, and they wrote the rules together: one hour on school days, more at weekends, and a ten-minute warning before the end.
Who acts: You, That, dad, nobody, they · What happens: say, be, sit down, write · To what, where: different five minutes, Kai, middle, rules · Speech: someone speaks here
