Check Please

(Okay, so this one happened a couple of months ago)

Scene:  Bedtime.  In Trev's room tucking him in.

Mom:  So, how have you been behaving in class?

Trev:  (Gives thumbs up).

Mom:  Hmmm.  So, you haven't received any checks?  (What the teacher gives for horsing around in class).

Trev:  Nope.  *smirks*  What?

Mom:  Trrevvv...

Trev:  Well, okay, this is how it goes.  I got a check today, but I really don't know why.  Really!

Mom:  You mean to tell me you have no idea why you got a check today?  That Mr. Hebron just hands out checks without telling anyone why?

Trev:  Yup.  I have no idea.

Mom:  Well, tomorrow I want you to ask him why you got a check.  Got it?

Trev:  Okay.  Hmmm, I hope I remember to ask him.

Mom:  Oh, you'll remember.  So, was it only one check?

Trev:  Yup.

Mom:  Trrevvv...

Trev:  Well, okay, I think I got two.  But really, I have no idea why!

Mom:  (Goes into explanation as to how this is unacceptable, blah, blah, blah.)

Trev:  Okay, I promise, I won't get any more checks the whole year.  Shake on it.

Mom:  (Hesitantly shakes hand.)

Trev:  There.  Now, if I do get another check, you can take the PlayStation away from me for a whole month...(pause)...wellll, maybe just a week 'cuzzzzzz I really like playing it.
