So a young lad of 14 has had a few days off school and wants to play some 'ball at the weekend,
the conversation may go like this.....
Mum- If you are well enough to play then you should have been well enough to go to school!!!
Pledge- Ohh come on Mum you know I was ill and i kept up with my school work (show poor excuse for what you consider to be work). But I do feel better and I am going to be fine on monday
Mum- You call that work, Maybe next weekend
PLedge- But there doing the training this weekend, I promise next weekend i'll help you out
Mum- I'll have to ask your father
Pledge- Dad, c'mon Ill clean your car and mow the lawn
Dad- Ok son
Mum- Not that quickly my lad, You need to be more responsible than that,
I know you won't do any of those things
Pledge- I promise I will. How about I do chores all week to pay for the paint bill that I am about to rack up tommorow (serious guys this kid litteraly eats paint)
Mum- Ok, only if you prove you are really responsible and I want to see good marks in your coursework/homework/school grades
Plege- Of course Mum i promise
