Afternoon, after school:
“Mum, can I ride my bike to school tomorrow?”
“I suppose.”
Evening. Roger’s home for dinner:
“Max, I saw your bus-driver today.”
Ouch!
“Oh!”
Banned for 3 months.
Swearing at the bus-driver.
Roger knows everybody!!
Now extra punishment awaits.
Mum:
“You’ll be riding a lot now, won’t you?”
“I guess.”
