Rita: Troy, you clocked off ten minutes early last night. Lucy, I saw you on the telephone twelve times yesterday.
Lucy: I was handling office business.
Rita: Oh, really? I'm sure I heard something about "picking up the kids."
Lucy: [Hiding her anger] True. One call was from my husband.
Rita: I'm going to be watching you two. I won't tolerate lazy workers in my section.
Lucy: [Under her breath to Troy] Here comes the boss--watch this!

One month later
Timmy: Does anyone need anything from the supermarket?
Mom: Why? Are you going to walk?
Timmy: Nope. I can ride all by myself now!
Mom: How? Who taught you to do that?
Timmy: Me and Philip took turns helping each other to learn. Now we can both ride by ourselves!
Mom: That's great! But I bet your father's disappointed that he wasn't the one to teach you.
Timmy: I warned you guys that I'd practice every day of my life!!
