One morning she walked into his room, turned on the light, and said, “It's time to get up, John. You can’t stay in bed all day.” John turned over in bed. He did not want to get up. He turned off the light.
“Don't go to sleep again,” Alice said, “Get up now or you’ll be late again for school.” she turned the light on again.
Fifteen minutes later John came into the kitchen and sat down at the table.
“Eat your breakfast quickly,” Alice said, “It's almost eight thirty.”
“There’s no hurry,” John told his mother, “I'm not going to school today.”
“Why not?” his mother asked. “Is it a holiday?”
John shook his head, “No, it's not a holiday.”
Alice sat down next to her son and took his hand, “John,” she said, “Tell me what's wrong, why do you hate school so much?”
For several moments John was silent. Then he said, “The teachers bully me and the students don’t like me.”
“John,” his mother said, “I'm sorry about that, but you cannot stay at home.”
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because, dear,” his mother said, “there are two very good reasons why you must go to school. First, you are thirty - five years old. Second, you are the school principal.”
