The boys seem to think I did it, but I was asking Miss Kelsey about our homework assignment and was ten minutes late for lunch. I couldn't possibly have tampered with Bobby's milk.
No, you surely couldn't. I hope whoever did - if indeed anyone did, milk is such a tricky substance - was very careful about the amounts of whatever he or she used.
Really. Well, that's something, isn't it. It's a good thing that person didn't use anything more subtle. Stupid little boys who drink something with such a definite taste deserve what they get.
Anyone who watched Bobby drink milk would know he doesn't even stop to taste it. According to them, Jeremy did it because Bobby and he were fighting. It makes sense, though. Jeremy wouldn't have anything more subtle.
I'm "different" enough already. I don't need that added to it all.
Driving age, and I couldn't reach the pedals at my current height. And Daddy's already promised me a pretty car when I turn sixteen. Yes, she stuck her tongue out briefly. She was still only eleven!
Skip three grades and I will most certainly get you a puppy. However, I'll say that's a very pedestrian request. If I were to accept a bribe, I'd go for something a little more creative.
I'm sure I could convince your mother to cope with it. I might have to spend some time doing it, but perhaps YOU should focus on the skipping-the-grades-part.
I'll add that you're not acting like a little girl who wants an ice-cream.

Can I get caramel sauce on it?

I suppose caramel isn't out of the question.

Yay! Ice cream!

...if you skip three grades, Uncle Jonathan will get you a pony.

...We live in the city. A pony isn't practical.

How about a sports car? Children love cars, don't they?

(Yay two errors in a row.)

Be reasonable - I'm sure there's something you want! A flying monkey? Er, a fear gun, perhaps? Go on, name it.
no subject
Anything I want, I can ask Mom or Daddy for, and they won't try to use it as a bribe. Sweet and innocent look.

Where on EARTH do you think Harvey's going to get a flying monkey? He doesn't know the first thing about genetic engineering!
no subject
I don't want a flying monkey.
I kind of want a puppy, but I can't have one.
