Miguel, why haven't you finished your science homework all week?
I'm sorry, Ms. Perry. My house burned down last weekend. My family and I have been sleeping at my grandma's all week. I'm very stressed. I can't do my homework because my grandma's house is so loud and I lost my textbook.
Oh, no! Let's talk more about it during lunch. Can you come to my office then?
Yes, but I might be a little late. My grandma's kitchen is too small to make food, so I need to buy lunch.
