Answer

**MAMÁ** hijo, siempre que voy a tu colegio recibo malas noticias.
**HIJO** mamá, ninguno de mis compañeros pudo pasar esa prueba.
**PAPÁ** pero nosotros no somos padres ni de Pedro, ni de Pablo sino tuyos.
**MAMÁ** Es verdad, también nos hablaron de tu comportamiento, no sólo el examen que reprobaste.
**HIJO** Siempre escuchan sólo una versión de la historia y siempre es en la que soy el malo.
**PAPÁ** Ya no conviertas esto en un ataque hacia ti, algo de verdad debe haber en toda la historia. Sólo queremos entenderte.
**MAMÁ** Es cierto, queremos tu versión pero sin ninguna mentira. Queremos confiar en ti.
**HIJO** Grité al profesor porque no me pareció justa la calificación de mi trabajo y ningún profesor va a quitarme mi receso sólo porque no le gustan mis trabajos.
**PAPÁ** Tus argumentos son suficiente para saber que ni la directora ni el profesor mienten. Nada de televisión y ninguna fiesta en un mes. Estás castigado!

Translation

**MOM** Son, whenever I go to your school I receive bad news.
**TEEN** Mom, none of my classmates could pass that test.
**DAD** But we are neither Peter’s nor Paul’s parents, but yours.
**MOM** It’s true, they also told us about your behavior, not just the exam you failed.
**TEEN** They always hear only one version of the story and it’s always the one where I’m the bad guy.
**DAD** Do not turn this into an attack on yourself, there must be some truth in the whole story. We just want to understand you.
**MOM** It’s true, we want your version but without any lies. We want to trust you.
**TEEN** I yelled at the teacher because the grade for my work didn’t seem fair to me and no teacher is going to take my recess just because they don’t like my work.
**DAD** Your arguments are enough to know that neither the principal nor the teacher are lying. No television and no parties in a month. You are punished!
