Parents
Mom and Dad-There is a dance on Friday that I
would really like to go to. Teachers and parents will be there to
chaperone and so will the principals. This means I will be safe. Also, I think I have been doing a good job of not
back talking to you. Please let me go!

Friend
Brosef-You need to go to this dance
because if you don’t, not only will you be a loser, but Dillon is
probably going to hook up with your girl! You don’t want that, do you? Also, I heard there wasn’t going to
be a lot of teachers there so…

Hey, man, I need to borrow twenty bucks. Okay? I have to buy this stupid book for my music class. It's about lullabies or something. I can't believe a book of lullabies is so expensive. And I can't believe my
instructor is making us buy this book. I know. I should've used the twenty bucks I had yesterday to buy the book, but I forgot about it, and, besides, I really wanted that new CD. So, come on, be cool and lend me the money. I'll pay you back on my
next payday

amount not two. Please correct this error immediately by crediting my account in the
amount of $23.56. Thank you.
