In response to his questions about why he was at this park, I got a bit peeved. I said that I was hoping he wouldn't disappoint me today, unlike yesterday when he failed his test.
He said he would do all that he could to please me.
"I hope so," I said, "because I don't want to spank you, although that's what the regulations call for if you disobey me..."
He said he would do his best.
