W: Dad, can I go to a movie with Sharon?
M: Yeah, sure, but wait. [5]Weren’t you supposed to get a report card sometime this past week?
W: Well, oh yeah. Can I call Sharon now?
M: Uh-hum. You didn’t answer my question. Did you receive it or not?
W: I love you, Dad! [5]You’re the best!
M: [5]Don’t try to butter me up. I can guess that your answer means that you didn’t do well in some of your classes?
W: Well, my English teacher is so boring, and he blows up every time someone talks.
M: In other words, you’re not doing so well?
W: Uh, a C... minus.
M: Oh. Well, how are you doing in your Spanish class? You said you liked that one.
W: Well, I do, but I forgot to turn in a couple of assignments, and I had problems on the last test. All those verbs tripped me up. I got them all mixed up in my head!
M: Okay, and [6]what about algebra?
W: [6]Ah, I’m acing that class. No sweat.
M: Oh!
W: Can I go now?
M: [7]And how are you doing in history?
W: Oh, [7]that’s my favorite class. Mr. Jones is always passing out candy if you know the answers to his questions.
M: Great. Now, [7]I have a bright daughter with tooth decay.
W: Ah, Dad. Can I go now?
M: You can go if you answer my history question. [8]How old am I?
W: Uh, fifty-five?
M: Fifty-five! [8]You just failed a math and history test at the same time!
W: Dad...
M: Well, okay, but you need to come straight home from the movie.
W: Gotta run, Dad.
