“Susan, Randy was planning on going with Davey to the movies tonight but he misbehaved yesterday and he’s being punished. He may have a lot of studying to do thhis weekend but that’s not why he’s staying home tonight.”
“Oh … I see. Well that certainly makes a lot more sense,” Mrs Symington noted, her serious tone combining with a distinct twinkle in her eyes.
“And what may I ask did Randy do to get grounded on a Friday night, Carolyn?”
“I’m afraid he broke his curfew and then lied about it to cover up the fact that he was at a dorm party and not in the library where he said he was. If it wasn’t for the reserve desk librarian who called asking for an overdue reserve book charged out to Randy, I never would have know he was off partying when he should have been studying.”
