Question

Mom: Daniel, I need to talk to you about your behavior. Dad and I realize there is probably an

explanation(解释) for why the house is so dirty, but you shouldn’t have run out of the room and closed the door so hard like that.

Daniel: Mom, I’m sorry, but I was so angry! You want me to act like an adult but you and dad

treat me like a child. Why didn’t you just ask me what had happened?

make mistakes. We were angry too. None of us stopped to think and we should have.

Can you explain to me now why the house was a mess and what you did with the money

we left?

Daniel: Spot was sick, Mom. Eric and I didn’t want to call you and dad on your vacation, so I
