E 6: Boys 2 Men

Sir waits at the sidewalk for a bus. Before he arrives in the office, he stops over an ATM to withdraw some cash he needs for the next fifteen days of his life. Surrounded by people of different ages, sir walks into the office and placed his finger on the biometrics to check in. Everybody minds his and her own business. Some would greet him. The seat awaited for his warmth. Automatically, he turns his computer on, opens important files, and prepares for another day of work.
Boy asks for an allowance that day from his parents. He arrives at the school and steps into his first class surrounded by people who are mostly of the same age as his. His seat embraced him but not too tight for he walks around to ask for a copy of their homework. His classmates are mostly his friends. Automatically, as the teacher arrives, he opens his notebook, grabs a pen, and prepares for a new day ahead.
The food choices are plenty for sir. He can buy whatever he wants for himself. See a movie, go to amusement parks, buy a new mobile phone--anything, with the right wage, he can get what he wants.
With hands clasped, boy has to beg to his parents to let him go out with his friends and give him enough money for it. If this doesn't work, he will save up, not eat much at school and deprive himself from buying other things just to save up.
Yes, sir earns money. All he has to do is kiss his boss' ass. He doesn't have to, but it happens.
Boy just does his laundry or clean the house and he gets rewarded.
If sir does anything wrong in his company, he may face a lawsuit against him.
Boy gets in trouble at school and the guidance takes care of him.
Sir goes home, relaxes on his own bed, and sleeps soundly.
Boy goes out with his friends, does his homework afterwards, lies down on a bed and sleeps soundly.
