Dr. Garret Macy:
Why aren't you in school?

Abby Macy:
I got suspended.

Dr. Garret Macy:
Excuse me?

Abby Macy:
God, just freak out before I get a chance to explain, why don't you?

Dr. Garret Macy:
All right, you're right, I'm sorry. Please explain.

Abby Macy:
It was totally stupid. My bio teacher caught me and this guy messing around in the supply closet.

Dr. Garret Macy:
"Messing around." What does that mean, "messing around?"

Abby Macy:
You know, messing around. You're not going to make me say it, are you?

Dr. Garret Macy:
Are you talking about sex?

Abby Macy:
Yes, Dad; I'm talking about sex. Can I finish? [Macy nods, speechless] I mean, so, me and this kid get ratted out to the principal, and she suspends me for four days. It's really, really not a big deal; it's just that, you know, the school's probably gonna call you, so I figured I'd give you a heads up.

Dr. Garret Macy:
Oh, well, thank you, Abby. Thank you so much for keeping me in the loop. I really appreciate it.
