Happy friday everyone!! Please respond to the following scenario on the discussion page:

"Your father is late again," Reggie’s mother tells Reggie one night as he sits down to dinner. Reggie knows why. He passed his father’s car on the way home from school. It was parked outside the Midtown Bar and Grill. Reggie’s mother and father had argued many times about his father’s stopping off at the bar on his way home from work. After their last argument, his father had promised he would never do it again. "I wonder why your father is late?" Reggie’s mother says. Do you think I should trust what he said about not drinking anymore? Do you think he stopped off at the bar again?" Reggie’s mother asks him.
