Playing… what now?

My host father explained to me (in English) that their oldest son plays hooky every day, but important exams are coming up in a couple weeks so he’s going to be very busy… may even need to stop playing hooky. I figured going to class the couple weeks before exams would indeed be beneficial but wasn’t entirely sure why skipping so much class to begin with didn’t faze Monsieur Parisel.
About thirty minutes later, when the conversation had switched to French, it became evident that Vincent plays HOCKEY.
I must say, the constant switching between English and French (and the fact that I’m living in Flanders, who speaks FLEMISH tyvm… which I can’t read) is incredibly disconcerting.
