Tommy played truant today. His teacher called me this morning.

Where did he go?

I've asked him,but he won't tell me. What shall we do about this?

He is like you. I remember when we were at the collage you always skipped classes.

Like me? But you see I'm so sucessful now. And if he is really like me he will be more successful than me in the future.

Stop,stop! We are talking about our son's attendance for classes and his study.

Maybe we could give him a little bit of money to pay him to go to school.

Pay him? But he studys for himself,not for you or for me or for anybody else.

I've got an idea. You should send him to class every morning,and after class begins you can go to work.

In that way,I'll be late everyday. How about letting him go to school on school bus?

That's a good idea! Why have I never thought of that?

That's because,I went to school for each class when I was at school,so now I'm much more clever than you.
