NOT A TEACHER


(1) I do not know who is who, but I shall try to give you my opinion. I do not claim

that I am correct. If someone shows me that I am all wet (wrong), I shall, of course,

immediately delete this post.

Joe: Can you help me?

Mona: Look! Ty and I have to meet our dates, so we can't help you. We'll go home

and get the others to help you, though.

Joe: Okay, but don't tell Mom and Dad. I don't want them to think that I am

not a responsible person.

Mona: We won't tell them. And don't worry about the others. The situation will be as

good as it would be if they were here this minute. = They will be here! That is my

guarantee! You can depend on their being here to help you.


*** Another example


Boss: When am I getting that new chair I ordered? I need it for tonight's party.

Martha: Oh, I called the company an hour ago, and they said it will be here by

3:30 p.m. You don't have to worry.

Boss: Are you sure?

Martha: Believe me, boss. Good as here! (That company has a good reputation. If it

says that something will be delivered by a certain time, it will be delivered. It is 100%

dependable.)
