Real Life Conversations, Part VIII

JT: If I finish page one of homework in less than 15 minutes, than I have to complete page two.

Mama: Okay.

JT: I don't want to do page two.

Mama: Well, how long will it take you to finish page one?

JT: It won't take long. And then I'll have to do page two.

Mama: Sounds like you'll be doing page two.

JT: Well, we could just tell Mrs. Carcich that it took me more than 15 minutes to finish page one.

Mama: That would be telling a lie. How do you think Mrs. Carcich would feel if we lied to her?

JT: Well, I'm not going to tell her that I lied. So she'll never know.
