After school

Tyler: Hey, Mom, can you sign this?

Mom: Well, what is it?

Tyler: I just need to turn this in.  It says you know about my project that's due on Wednesday.

Mom: What is the project?

Tyler: I have to give a five-minute speech with note cards and have a poster and visual aids.

Mom: And it's due in two days?

Tyler: Yes.

Mom: When did you find out about this?

Tyler: Two weeks ago.

Mom: ARGH!!!  I will sign it, but I'm also writing, "Please give Tyler a hard time for telling me about this on APRIL FIRST."

Tyler: I want to tell my class how to make pizza.

Mom: Pizza?  What do you know about making pizza?

Tyler: I thought I could research it.  You know, where it came from, ingredients, instructions, pictures...stuff like that.

Mom: What have you found online?  You've been looking for an hour.

Tyler: I just need to print this out...

Mom: OK, new topic.

Mom: Dang it!

Zach: What happened?

Mom: I scalded the white sauce while I was talking to Tyler.

Zach: Oh...

Mom: Don't you EVER wait to tell me about a big project until two days before it is due.

Zach: Um....

Mom: Zach...

Zach: Have I told you about the Science Fair Expo?
