You haven't heard back from the college that wait-listed you.

For your information, I have already filled out and dropped off my community college application.

I stopped by the grocery store to get some stuff for dinner.

Tonight at dinner, I'm telling my parents the biggest news of all.

And next time, let's do it at our place.

Dylan and I were thinking that, you know, we would get an apartment together.

They're going to be huge.

Would you excuse us for a moment so we can talk to Haley?

Then those bills start rolling in, so you (have) got to pick up some extra shifts.

If you think this kind of stress is not going to take its toll on that body and that face, think again.

And hello Alex's hand-me-downs because you can't afford to shop.

Why were you hiding this?

I don't know.

Do you not want her to go to college?

I'm never telling you anything again.

1. Phil and Claire don't want Haley to move in with her boyfriend, but they don't tell her that she can't. Instead, they try to persuade her that it is a bad idea. Do you like their parenting style? What would you do if you were her parents?
2. If you made a big life decision and your parents told you that you couldn't do it, would you follow their command?
3. Should people live together before marriage? Why / why not? What are two advantages and two disadvantages?
4. When was the last time you made dinner for your parents? What did you make? When will you make dinner for them again?
5. Do you think it is a good idea to take a gap year? What are some advantages and disadvantages?
6. Did you take a gap year? What did you do during your gap year?
