Dan is always late dropping his two children, Woody and Kyle, off at school, sometimes he forgets to pick them up from school. He got asked to come in for a meeting regarding his time management and neglect for them.
When there's glasses of water at meeting no one really touches them but Dan's sat there chugging his water cause he's so nervous; there’s 6 people excluding dan sitting around the meeting table each with a glass of water and Dan finishes his within the second along with leaning over the table to take and drink everyone else’s.
They're still waiting for someone to get there. Dan's sat there doing the nervous leg jiggle, he does it so violently he bangs his knee on the table and violently sniffing.
Then Dan excuses himself because he’s gonna piss himself after drinking 19 litres of water

The missing person arrives and all eyes are on him.
"So Mr Smith, do you know why we called you in for this meeting?" A person from across the room speaks up.
"Uh *nervous huehue* yea uHm I'm always late.. and stuff ya know? I have a lot of things to do, can't always drop my kids off on time"
“But Mr Smith, sometimes you may aswell wait in the school grounds until the end of school to pick them up you drop them off that late” Some jokester sitting next to Dan pipes up. Dan shoots him a slightly dirty look.
"Is there not like an after school club they can go to while they wait for me, my job constricts me a lot, I'm an really busy man *starts playing with his shoelace* and my job doesn't finish early enough for me to pick them up. Can't they like walk home or like get the bus?" Dan's sat there still tense, trying to speed up the meeting as fast as possible.
"Look, Mr Smith, your children are 4 and 9, they are certainly not old enough to do either of those things. You need to arrange something before we call social services." The school principle replies, clearly very serious about the subject, she isn't here to piss about. Everyone nods in agreement whilst vigorously taking notes.
“Well how about I just teach them? I’ll just take them out of school. I majored in English,I know what I’m doing”
"Uh Mr Smith, if I may interrupt. Your working hours restrict you enough, hOw oN eaRth do you think you'll be able to juggle work with also teaching your children?"
“I sAiD i wIlL tEaCh thEm” And with that Dan stands up with authority and walks out the meeting, leaving a cold breeze behind. He goes to the waiting area to collect Woody and Kyle to go home.
