Kevin, why don’tyou tell me about your day?

Mom, I had a great day today.

Really? Why don’t you tell me about it?

Okay. First,I had a really good talk with Barry this morning.

Really? What did you talk about?

Nothing special,it was just good.

Well that’s great.What about school?

School was great too.I met Karen and she said she would go

to the party with me tonight.

What about Barry?I thought you were going with him.

I was, but then I decided to go with Karen.

You should be careful.If you make a promise,

you should keep it.And Barry has been your friend for ten

years,but you’ve only known Karen a little while.

Good friends are very important.

I know.I feel bad, but....

Well, what else did you do today?

In English class we learned all about college.

I thought you said you only liked rock music and you weren’t going

to college.

I know, but my English teacher,Mr.Gomez,told me how cool

college was so now I’m thinking about going.

That’s wonderful.Tell Mr.Gomez thank you for me.

I will.

Oh,look what time it is.It’s almost five

o’clock.The news will be on television soon.

Let’s watch it together.

(Kevin looks disappointed.)

Do I have to?

You don’t have to,but you should.

Okay.

That’s a good boy.
