Honey, I'm going over to Michaela's with Marama today after school.
I thought you had to take Marama to hockey practice on Tuesdays.- Yeah, usually I do.
- But today's practice got called off 'cos her coach, Mr. Brooking, can't make it.
- Her coach can't make it?
- Yeah, he's got to teach a coaching clinic in town tonight, so she has the night off.
- So, what are you guys gonna do over at Michaela's place?
- Well, Marama and Michaela's daughter have a big Social Studies test on Thursday, so Michaela and I are going to catch up while the girls swot for the test.
- Good idea!
- Make sure you get her home before too late, okay?
- She's got swimming training before school tomorrow.
- Okay! I'll make sure we're home no later than half-past six.
- Have fun!
- Will do!
