I have to go to work.

I need you to log on and get to work.

Yes, you still have to go to school.

I still have to go to work.

Don’t argue with your grandmother. She’s here to help us all.

Yes, you have to turn on your camera, NO, I don’t care if you look like a troll.

It is time for school!

I know it’s hard.

Yes, I care about your mental health.
