"Hi, Sophy, how are you doing?"

"I´m fine thanks. But what about you, you look awful."

"Yea, I´ve got quite a hangover."

"And how did you get that?"

"I went to a party last night."

"But you´re only 14!"

"Wait, I´ll tell you what happened."

"I´m listening."

"My sis took me to that party, to 'show me the real worl'."

"Wait a minute, what sis?"

"The younger one."

"OK, go on."

"Yeah, you know it was held in one of those warehouses in the dock. When we got there it was all crowded, but they had good music-"

"And alcohol."

"Uh, yeah. I was about to say that the people were nice but yes, it was alcohol there too."

"Tom, why did you go there, why did you drink?"

"Sophy, I´ve drunk alcohol before, sure the other times have been at home at my Dad´s parties, but I´ve tried it."

"Yah, but you have never gotten a hangover before, right?"

"Not this huge."

"See."

"Shut up and let me explain please. As you know it was cold last night, in fact it´s still cold. So, to keep warm, there was no heat in the warehouse, you drank something."

"What did you drink?"

"Er.. at first only beer but it wasn´t enough and I was still cold so then I drank something more."

"Such as?"

"Er.. Whisky, Vodka, Wine, Raktjino, more."

"Where did that Klingon stuff come from?"

"I don´t know, it was just there. And it wasn´t good."

"Is any liquid with alcohol in it good?"

"Cherrybeer is really tasteful."

"Yeah, yeah. What happend next?"

"I found myself in a group of people who was about to play 'thruth or dare' and when I later found myself with a strange girl in my lap, I had the presence ofmind to get home."

"At what time did you lurch home then?"

"Ah, maybe at 0130 something."

"Didn´t your parents see you?"

"No, I don´t think so anyway. I looked into the kitchen window when I finally had made it to our house, and then I saw my Dad, mum and oldest sister sitting there, playing yatzy in the kitchen. Then I slipped into the house through the backdoor instead of the main."

"So your oldest sister was home playing parlour games with your parents while the younger of your big sisters went to a wild party and brought you?!"



"Yes, it´s always been like that."

"Did you leave the party without your sister?"

"I did. I couldn´t find her anywhere."

"Do you know when she got home?"

"Around 0500 hours I think. She´s still asleep."

"It´s 1400 hours now!"

"What´s your problem, Sophy?"

"Non. My point is that she´s probably pregnant by now!"

"And what do you mean with THAT?!!"

"Oh... nothing particular."

"Bye, Sophy."

"No, wait!"

"I´ll give you ten seconds, starting now."

"Don´t you understand, Tom? When people are drunk they sometimes do things they wouldn´t normally do! My sister got two kids that way!"

"Sorry Sophy, but your ten seconds are out. Now!"
