Mr Flinch: I hope we’ll be hearing your composition today, Justin
Justin: I’m still working on it
Mr Flinch: It was due a week ago
Justin: Perfection knows no deadlines
Mr Flinch: Your workbook’s empty
Justin: I’ve planned it in my head though. I’ve even been dreaming about it.
Mr Flinch: Did your dreams include the bit where I chuck you out of my class?
Justin: Yes, but it was cos I’d turned into an elephant and trampled Andrew’s head into the carpet. Think it was one of those wish-fulfilment dreams.
Mr Flinch: Justin, I’ve been teaching music for nineteen years. I’ve seen a lot of kids who thought they knew it all, that they couldn’t learn anything from me. Today they’re hauling concrete and packing groceries.
Justin: And who doesn’t appreciate a multi-tasker?
