    The poem describes a parent's reaction to their child coming home from school with good behavior and a good school report. In the first stanza, the parent questions the child about what happened at school. The child is usually messy and loud, but comes home neat with a careful expression. In the third stanza, the parent realizes the child must have a good school report to explain the new behavior. The last line reveals the child brings home their school report, surprising the parent with their success.
