Some ideas for some more useful things this person could do with their time:

1. Take that $5 and invest it in Bitcoin

2. Wear wet socks while looking for parking

3. Have a staring contest with a houseplant

4. Write a Yelp review for their corner stoplight

5. Dress up the Roomba and pretend to have friends

I particularly like your vision of the Roomba.

I don't know about your particular reader, but I have so many ideas for some of the people with no expertise in child and youth psychology or book curation who are darned sure they've got the answers.

1. Floss the cat/dog. Twice. Can you spell Biohazard Breath?

2. Clip the cat's/dog's toenails. (Do not declaw! Watch You Tube if you need instructions.) Look what they're doing to your prize couch! Quick!

3. Sweep and mop the area around the cat/dog food bowl. You know how those little crumbly bits bug you.

4. Memorize a long poem. No, not the Elf on a Shelf. Start with Longfellow or Shakespeare. Graduate to Joy Harjo on You Tube.

5. Have you seen the cat/dog? Have your neighbors seen the cat/dog? Do you need to make flyers for the cat/dog? Maybe you should get out there and knock on doors.
