A Rock Band



Susan: You're in good spirits today, Ted. 

Ted: I've got great news, Mom. 

Susan: What is it? 

Ted: Amber and I are going to start a rock band! 

Susan: Good for you! 

Ted: Mom, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need to 
borrow $1,000 for a new guitar. 

Susan: Ted, your father and I can't shell out that much. We 
aren't made of money. 

Ted: You're not? I thought you were millionaires, like Donald and Ivana Trump!

Susan: Ha ha. This is no time to be a wise guy! 

Ted: I promise I'll pay you back. 

Susan: How? 

Ted: We're going to take the music world by storm and make lots of money. 

Susan: That sounds like a pipe dream. Aren't high school rock bands a dime a 
dozen? 

Ted: Yeah, but we're different. With my guitar playing and Amber's beautiful voice, we're sure to make a splash! 

Susan: Well, we're going through hard times. You're going to have to work for that $1,000. 

Ted: How? 

Susan: You can bake cookies. 

Ted: I bet Mrs. Clapton never made Eric** bake cookies, but I guess those are the breaks.
