Why are you not doing your project? Your teacher informed
me it will be due tomorrow.
Ma, if I do my project, I will get a good grade. If I get good
grades, you will send me to college. If I go to college. I will
graduate and will have a good job. If I get a good job, I can
be fired. If I get fired, I will go bankrupt. Ifigo bankrupt, I will
lose everything. If I lose everything, I will be depressed. That is
why I am not doing my project!
