You Tell or Me?

Saw this in a comic strip “Dennis the Menace”.

He’s a very active boy around 7-9 years old.

He’s about to leave for school.

His mother says, “I don’t want to receive any more notes from your teacher.

Do you understand?”

Dennis replies, “Yes.”

After a pause, when he’s just outside the front door, he adds,

“Do you wanna tell her or should I?”

The mother looks as if she is thinking what to say.
