At home
Your dad thinks you ignored him calling you for dinner. You had your headphones on.
They say: "I called you three times!"
What could you say?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Sorry, my headphones were on. I did not hear you. I will take them off at dinner time.
A strong fit
It says what happened and one thing you will do next time.
I did not hear. Sorry.
Also works here
True and short. A next-time plan would help him trust it.
Shout back that you were not ignoring him.
Worth a second look
You can. Shouting makes it longer.
What people here usually expect
- Parents usually calm down once they know what happened.
- Saying what you will do next time helps.
- Shouting back is common. It makes it longer.
