look, i know you're not happy about this. but it wasn't my idea for your father to have some kind of mid-life crisis and disappear with his secretary to mexico with our life savings.
fine. administrative assistant. we couldn't afford to sit around waiting any longer to see if he was coming back. i was able to land a good job here. and now thanks to uncle bernie you have this job at the water park.
bernie says you help keep the park clean, sweep up, that sort of thing. i'm sure it won't be so bad. besides, a lot of the kids who work at this park go to the same high school you'll be going to. you can start the school year with some ready-made friends.
hanging out at the beach surfing with your friends is not my idea of something
administrative assistant.
promise me you'll give it a try. please?
