SCHOOL: A: Mother, I’m tired. I don’t feel like going to school today.

B: No wonder you’re tired. You stayed up until 2:00 am.

A: Can I sleep just a little longer? I’ll be on time for my 9:30 class I guess.
B: Joe, this is the fourth class you’ve missed so far.
A: I know, but I can catch up. Steve takes good notes.
B: You must not always rely on Steve or your other friends.
A: Why did you stay out so late last night?
B: There was a party at Steve’s house.
I didn’t want to leave. I was having too much fun.
A: Why did Steve have a party on a week night?
B: He wanted it because his parents weren’t home.
A: His parents weren’t home? Were there any adults at this party?
B: No, that’s why we had a good time. (147W)
