Can I come over to your house again this weekend?

Umm,

I’m sorry Allen,

my parents said you can’t come over

to our house any more.

What?

Why not?

Don’t you remember how upset they were

the last time you came?

No,

I guess I wasn’t really paying attention.

That’s the problem.

You were so disrespectful

that my parents think you are a

bad influence on me.

How was I disrespectful?

The last time you came over,

you helped yourself to whatever food you wanted

and left a huge mess all over my kitchen.

It was such a huge mess

that I had to ask my sister

to help me clean it up after you left.

And when my parents came home,

you didn’t even greet them.

You acted like they weren’t even there.

Okay,

when you put it like that it does sound bad.

I’m really embarrassed.

Your parents must hate me.

Can you tell them sorry for me?

Sure.

Maybe...

they’ll let you come over again

if they know you’ve changed.

I hope so.

From now on, I will be so respectful

that your parents will enjoy having me over again.

The Bible says,

"we should be eager to show respect for one another."

REAL FRIENDS respect each other.
