Do you know how late it is ?   My fault . I didn't realize what time it was .   I hope you don't think that excuse lets you off the hook .   Not really . I'm telling the truth .   Haven't I asked you to call if you're going to be home late ?   This is true , but it must've slipped my mind .   Regardless , all you had to do was give a call .   I know . I should've called .   Come home late one more time , and you'll find your stuff outside .   You want to throw me out over this ?   That's right , maybe then you'll respect my rules .
