Calvin gets an awful grade on a test, and when confronted by his father says he forgot to study for it. When pressed further, he starts pretending that he's been struck with amnesia.
Tropes
- Actually Pretty Funny: Calvin's mom seems to take some amusement in Calvin's amnesia act, letting dad be the one who is actually annoyed and angered by it.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: After a few hours of Calvin's amnesia act, which included an early bedtime as a punishment, Calvin's dad gives him an earnest and fair, but firm, lecture about taking his education seriously. Calvin keeps the amnesia act up for a second, but when his dad's tone makes it clear that he's about to stop being so earnest and fair, he quickly drops it.
