ASKING FOR PERMISSION !!

Ben: Mum, Can't I go to a party with Pete on Friday?

Mum: Yeah, you can.

Ben: Cool. Oh, and can I stay at Pete's house after the party?

Mum: No, you can't.

Ben: Why not?

Mum: Because we're going to grandma's house on Saturday.

Ben: OK. Er, one more thing.
Can I borrow $5?
