Today? Feeling like a moderately precocious six year-old. Why do you ask?

I always become alarmed when I can hold up the students as models of maturity. You may want to observe them closely.

I'm assuming that that the furniture belongs to Jean-Paul?

What furniture? There's furniture? Show me this furniture.

Why, the furniture that has recently taken up residence on the roof. It's really quite creative in an extremely juvenile way. Take a moment from admiring your colorful new window treatments and I'll show you.

Ah, yes. My colorful new window treatments.

Suddenly I'm remembering the furniture.

Somehow I thought that might jog your memory. I trust you're going to take the initiative on resolving both matters, yes? I think there are some scrapers in the store room, and God help you if there's a problem with that roof. We just had it patched.

I'm sorry, was the 'clean up after yourself' reminder supposed to make an impression? I was blowing holes in the house long before you ever showed up. Cain used to be quite pointed about his expectations after such Incidents.

I keep forgetting that delicacy and tact have no place in conversations with you. My apologies. My expectations are that you and Jean-Paul will repair any damage that occurs as a result of your boyish hijinxs before the weekend is up. I also expect that you project a good example for the students to follow, but it's far too late for that.

Repairs are a given. It's one of those adult things one does. And don't worry about the roof - I placed what furniture is up there very carefully.

My relief knows no bounds. Some of the local contractors seem to have very odd ideas about what goes on here and oddly want no part of it. Strange, that.
