Then Belle and I went back to her dorm to practice for a performance we had at a retirement home . It was such a last minute thing , we were pretty bad ... but they 're old people so I do n't think they noticed XD We got paid a good 60 dollars each , and we 're supposed to be getting an extra 20 later . Today I took another exam ... I think it went well , but I just wanted to get it over with . Then after that I got a call from my best friend , who was at home ( still pregnant !

Answer the following question: What was the appalling reason I think our bad performance was okay ?
The audience was a retirement and they would n't be aware enough to care .
