"Hi son. Just got a letter from the head of the computer science department. It says you made the dean's list this fall."

"Oh? Yeah well I guess I did."

"Why didn't you tell me? This is a big deal - congratulations! I'm very proud of you!"

"Thanks - but I thought I told you."

"Um... nope son... I think I would have remembered you saying you made the dean's list for the second time. That's a pretty big deal."

"Well I told you my grades."

"Yes... you told me you had an A in this and B in that, etc... but you didn't tell me your GPA."

"Oh... I didn't tell you I had a 3.6 something?"

"Nope."

"Oh, sorry mom... I guess I forgot."
