It shows you may feel uncomfortable when you are called in by your leader to why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that. If you “face the music”, you are sure to be less unhappy than that.
Every one of us has to “face the music” at some time or another, especially as . We can all remember father’s words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a(an) thing it was!
