The next day Steve woke up crying. Becky, a caregiver, asked “What’s wrong with you?” Steve said “Mommy was planning a birthday party at my house for me and my sister. ” “No, your sister asked for a Minnesota Golden Gophers birthday party after your mom sold the tickets to the South Dakota rodeo. ” She said. He said crying “No, I wanted a cabin 21 years of excellence party. ” “No no no Steve, your sister wanted a Minnesota Golden Gophers birthday party after you were naughty at school. ” She said.

Becky said “Your mom wanted to go to the cabin originally but the plan fell apart because you were naughty. ” Steve said crying “Why?” She said “You were refusing to do your school work. ” He said “Becky, I absolutely don’t like school” crying. She said “School isn’t a choice. You need to go. ” He said crying “I refuse to. I want to just play video games 24/7. ” She said “You can’t do that. ” He said crying “Why?”

Becky said “Your mom said that you have to go to school or get a job. ” Steve said crying “No, I don’t want to have a job. I just want to play video games 24/7. ” She said “Steve, you cannot play video games 24/7. They are hard on your eyes. ” “I don’t care” He said crying. She said “Your mom said that you had 2 choices before you left home. You could’ve gone to school until you graduated from high school which is in 6 years or you could’ve dropped out of school and started working for your dad and your Uncle Sike. ” He said crying “I absolutely don’t like either of those. “
