He was upset by this, so went to ask his mom why he couldn't. His mom, worried that Jeremy would get distracted from homework, told him that girls were simply not as important as his education at this time. Jeremy thought about this, thought about his girlfriend and how smart he was, and decided to convince his mom. "Mom, did you know that Angela is an Honor student and can help me with my work during dinner?" Jeremy asked. Jeremy's mom thought about this for a moment and realized that Jeremy probably would not be able to study because he would be caught up in the cuteness of Angela. "No, I'm afraid not, Son."
