Read the story and decide the theme:
Katie invited Missy to her house to work on their biology project, but Katie had no idea what a visit from Missy entailed. First of all, it was raining and Missy neither bothered to take her boots off nor thoroughly wiped them on the doormat. Then, Missy ate a bag of Cheetos on Katie's white bedspread without asking. Missy is a sloppy eater, so Cheeto powder got all over the bedspread. Katie tried to be polite and ignore Missy’s sloppy behavior, but then Missy took all the books off the Katie's shelf to look at without permission, after Katie had spent weeks alphabetizing them. Angry at the messes Missy had created, Katie pretended that she was sick and asked Missy to leave. The next day Katie asked the teacher if she could work by herself. After explaining her situation, the teacher allowed Katie to work alone. Missy had to finish the assignment by herself, despite having spilled grape soda all over her project papers, making them impossible to write on.
