      “No, mom, I’m going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!”

      “You can’t fool me, sonny! I know you don’t get invited to parties. You’re going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren’t you!”

      “…yes, mom…”

      “Now go to your room and think about what you’ve done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don’t come out again until God sends a sign that he has forgiven you!”
