Situation 3:
Talking to Dad(Robert's dad comes downstairs and joins
Robert and his mom at the table.)
Good morning,dear
Good morning,dad.
Good morning,you two.What were you just talking about?
Nothing.
Robert,tell your father what you just told me.
What's that,Robert?
Well,it's really nothing,but I am playing a little basketball
after school these days.
Robert, it's more than just a little basketball.
Which is it,a little or more?
Dad,I'm on the basketball team.Isn't that great?
I'm not sure.You know how I feel about you playing sports
and not studying.
But I am studying dad,I promise.
I sill don't like the idea of you playing when you should be doing schoolwork.
But I can do both.I can play sports and do my schoolwork.
Are you sure?
Yes.
What do you think ,dear?
think we should give him a chance.If he can keep good
grades in school while playing basketball,then we should let him
play.But if his grades are bad, he will have to quit the team.
Yeah,dad,that's fair.
Well,it sounds okay.Let's give it a try.
But if you don't do your schoolwork,you're off he team.
Do you understand?
Yes. Thanks mom. You're great.
Your father said yes,too.
Oh, yeah.Thanks dad.
Robert, you had had better go.You'll be late for your bus.
Okay, I'm going.Thanks for breakfast.
Hurry up.
Bye.
Bye.See you tonight.
