Liz and I performed the following skit in class recently:

Amanda: Did you research that subject we were going to talk about today?

Liz: Oh no; I meant to do that! But anyway I had no wifi the last few days.

Amanda: Why didn’t you call me?

Liz: I meant to. But my phone broke. And Aidan got his wisdom teeth out so I’ve been busy.

Amanda: I didn’t prepare any lecture. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. and I’ve had a really busy schedule the last week. Tom surprised me with a movie last night. Did you do that other thing?

Liz: I haven’t read email for the last couple days. Can you pull up the lecture you were going to do a few weeks ago on your phone?

Amanda: I wrote it, but I forgot to save it so I don’t have it. Sorry, I keep forgetting to save my documents.

Etc…
