Let's see if we can reach some sort of agreement over your curfew.
Okay. Everyone else's parents let them stay out until two or three in the morning.
Well. I'm not everyone else's father. I think you need to be in the house by ten o'clock.
That's absurd.
I think most of your classmates go home earlier than ten.
I know some junior high kids who can stay out later than that.
I'll be worried if you stay out that late.
Okay, how about a midnight curfew? And I'll let you know where I am.
