Good! I didn't miss much then. I love strawberry sundaes.
I just got a regular sundae. I don't care too much for strawberries.
(Feeling guilty) Oh! I really missed out, didn't I?
Yeah, you sure did. All you have to show for your pouting is a sunburned nose and a growling tummy.
(Asha looks up as if watching a car pull into a driveway) Uh-oh. I'm in for it now. That's my dad. When he finds out that I missed baseball practice, just sat around and pouted all afternoon, he is going to be really angry with me.
Well, don't you think that you deserve it?
I guess. My parents have told me so many times that I need to grow up and stop pouting. Until now, they've just lectured me. This time, I think that they'll probably ground me.
Boy, you're pouting has really cost you. You missed out on a great game, a good time at lunch and now you're in big trouble with your parents. And you still don't have any candy!
I know. From now on, I'm never going to pout. It doesn't work. I guess I better go in and face my parents.
(Waves to Asha) Good luck. I'll see you at baseball practice next week!
