The jerking tutor

So Billy, you know your mom has hired me to help tutor you in math. I hear you're having a really hard time with your studies.

Chapter 5, she said, was giving you some particular problems. Is that right? Is that where you'd like to start?

Uh, yes, Miss Carey.

Okay. Could you do me a favor and take your hat off? It's really impolite for you to have your hat on.

I'm sorry, Miss Carey.
