Phone: Ring ring

*Aaron Picks up*

Aaron: Hello? Oh its you dad, what’s up?

Dad: I have a problem with my PC. The cursor disappeared. I’ve got to rush this out urgent. Can you help?

Aaron: Sorry dad, I don’t know anything about PCs. Try Nick. He’s the expert.

Dad: Ok.

Phone: Ring ring

*Nick picks up*

Nick: Hello? Hi dad, what’s goin’ on?

Dad: I have a problem with my PC. The cursor disappeared. I’ve got to rush this out urgent. Can you come over?

Nick: Sorry dad, I’m tied up right now. Maybe this weekend?

Dad: You mean you can’t even help out your old man?

Nick: No no, its not that. I’m in the office now and my boss is chasing me for a deadline and I’m already late. So I gotta…

Dad: Never mind, you good for nothing son. If I get into trouble because I can’t get this out, its all your fault. *Hangs up*
