Scene: A park bench. Two boys, Tom and Jack, are sitting and talking.Tom: (angry) Man, I can't stand my parents. They're always on my case about everything. It's like they don't want me to have any fun at all.Jack: (calm) Really? I think our parents just want what's best for us. They care about us, you know?Tom: (dismissive) Yeah, right. Like last night, I wanted to go out with my friends, and they grounded me because I got a C on my math test. It's so unfair!Jack: (thoughtful) Well, did you study hard for that test?Tom: (frustrated) I mean, sort of. I had other things to do. It's just one test anyway.Jack: (gentle) I get it, but maybe they just want you to do your best. I used to get upset too, but then I realized they only push me because they want me to succeed.Tom: (sarcastic) Oh, so you're the perfect son now, huh?Jack: (smiling) Not perfect, but I try to understand where they're coming from. Like last week, I was really frustrated with my homework, and my mom stayed up late helping me. It made me appreciate her more.Tom: (scoffing) Whatever. I don't need them breathing down my neck all the time.Jack: (sincerely) You know, showing a little gratitude can go a long way. They do a lot for us, even if we don't always see it.Tom: (defensive) Like what?Jack: (listing) Well, they provide for us, take care of
