Dial M for Movies?

Sammy thinks he needs more time to himself so he can work on his homework. He asks to be excused from today’s home study.

Sammy: Can I do my homework instead of studying?

Daddy: You play on the computer for 1.5 hours in the morning and 4 hours when you come home from school.  Use some of that time to do your school homework.

Sammy: But I came home late from school today. I joined the STEM club.

Daddy: (Testing him) What does STEM stand for?

Sammy: I don’t know.

Pia:  (Chiming in, unsure) Science… Technology… I forgot what E stands for.

Sammy: Entertainment?
