Brick: Dad, can I bother you?
Mike: Highly likely.
Brick: Um, my Life Skills class is having this career day where parents come and talk about their jobs. I know it's probably something you wouldn't want to do, but it's been a little tough for me so far this year. No girlfriend, no social scene on the bus. And the freshmen are all taller than me. Anyway, I think it could be fun If you want. [sighs] So there it is. No whoops, no whispers, just a boy standing in front of a dad asking him to speak at Career Exploration Day.
Mike: No.
