Situation 1

Ken asks Barbie to go to a movie with him.  Barbie says, "Sorry, Ken, but I have a paper due tomorrow.  I have to write something on how children develop unrealistic images of the human body."

Ken says, "Wow!  I did a paper on that last semester.  I got an 'A!'  You can just save a copy of it and put your name on it.  Then let's go to the movies!"
