Hello honey, you came home early today.

I'm making lunch. Hello babe, yeah I arrived early. I need to talk to you, something happened.

Really? Oh my love, here I am for you, tell me.

But wait a minute, I have to check the oven. By the way, Mario wants to talk to you. Why don't you talk to him while I finish cooking lunch? I'll be right back.

Okay, no wait a minute, Martha. Oh God.

Hello Dad, it's good that you came home early. Wasn't there much work today?

Yeah, I had some problems in the office but everything is fine. Son, how are you?

I'm great. I'm so happy. I talked to the teacher and she told me that I am doing great. She told me that if I keep trying, I can be the best student. I mean, I am one of the best students now, but I want to be the best in the school.

I am so happy to know that. I am sure you can achieve that goal. I trust you.

Thanks, Dad. And I'm talking about that, if I want to be the best, I have to have the best. And we have a science project this week. I need some material for my project. I will make a volcano. It will be amazing. I am sure I can win that contest. I will need some special paper and other things. I know they can be expensive. George, my best friend, told me we couldn't do it because it was very expensive. But I told him we can do it. You told me I had to do my best always, and you have a good job. George's father is an assistant and he doesn't earn much money. I understand that, but you are the boss in your area. I told him you could pay for those things. So we're making the volcano anyway. I just need $100. Dad, if you can give me that money today because we will go to buy the things later.

$100? Well, that's kind of expensive. Do you really need it?

Yeah, I also thought it was a little expensive at the beginning, but you are the boss, Dad. So I thought you wouldn't have any problem giving me a $100. Am I right?

Yeah, sure. I will give you the money later. First, I need to talk to your mother.

Thank you, you are the best father. Uh, my mom, I think she's cooking. She's making that delicious chicken stew. She says she has a surprise for you. I think she wants to talk to you about something important and she prepares your favorite food. By the way, it's George's birthday next week. I will need $50 to buy him a present. I was thinking about a new protector for his cell phone, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

But a new protector for his cell phone doesn't cost $50. That's too much.

I know that, but I will also buy a cake, a chocolate cake. It's his favorite. So I will give him a chocolate cake and a new protector for his cell phone. I was planning to buy something else, but I can't think about it. Maybe a pair of socks?

No, son. I am sure it's enough with his chocolate cake. That's all.

Yeah, you're right, Dad. I will also need $200 to buy new shoes.

New shoes? But I bought those shoes you have last year. What happened?

Yeah, but all my friends have new shoes. There are some great sneakers on sale. We can go to the mall later to see them. Mom can go too, and then to the movies.

I think we will have to talk about it now. Why don't you call Mom? I need to talk to her.
