[Music]
you
excuse me hello how can I help you
I'm interested in buying a membership
card that's great how did you hear about
us
a friend of mine has a membership with
you what services are you interested in
I would like to have access to the
swimming pool would you also like to
workout in the gym
yes I would here is a listing of our
prices
I think this plan is best for me
all right just fill out this paperwork
and that's all
swimming
can you teach me to swim
why don't you take a class instead
swim classes are embarrassing I suppose
I can teach you
how did you learn to swim my father
threw me into a lake when I was four
years old
you could have drowned I could have but
I swim instead
is that how you plan to teach me
it's the best way to learn
I think I will sign up for a class after
all okay that is less work for me
swimming too
are you going to camp this summer I
don't think so
why not I'm kind of traumatized from
last year
than last year
while swimming and almost drowned I
thought you took swimming lessons last
semester
I did but I'm still afraid anything
could happen
you just have to trust in your abilities
do you really think I'll be okay
I know you will you swim like a fish now
thanks for your encouragement I think I
will go after all
soccer ball
why is this soccer ball pink I bought it
at the breast cancer Fair
I thought that all soccer balls are
black-and-white that pattern isn't what
makes it a soccer ball then what makes
it a soccer ball
what's important is the material it's
made from what's so special about the
material it allows the ball to bounce
but not too much
I see it would be hard to control a
bouncy ball my ball is a little flat
though
we'd better fill it up if we don't it
won't even roll have you seen the air
pump
running
I'm surprised to see you out running I
want to join the track team next
semester
is that why you're training so hard yes
I want to be in shape for tryouts
you just don't run to get in shape what
should i do then
you should do some weight training too
what good is weight training
it will give you strong legs so you can
run well if my legs get too muscular
I'll look like a frog
frogs are pretty fast that's true maybe
as a frog I'd win all the races
basketball
you sure are buying a lot of stuff it's
all the equipment I need for basketball
you need besides a ball and a hoop
all good players have a good pair of
shoes
that makes three things you should also
wear comfortable clothes when you play
what about all that candy you're buying
a player has to stay energized
it's good to run on sugar then I'll eat
it while I'm watching the basketball
game
are you watching it on television yes
there's a big game on Sunday
badminton
I want to try out for the tennis team
our school doesn't have a tennis team
yes it does they were practicing after
school yesterday were they using a
birdie
of course not that'd be animal abuse a
birdie is a plastic red-nosed tool for
badminton
oh I see yes they were using a red tool
then the sport you saw was definitely
badminton
is that also why the rackets were so
small and thin yes it's somewhat similar
to tennis though
well in that case I want to join the
badminton team I wish you the best of
luck
baseball
do you like baseball I've never watched
a game
you've never even seen it on television
don't own a television set
we should go watch a game one day where
can we watch a baseball game
in a baseball stadium there are entire
stadiums just for playing baseball
yes they even wrote a song about it
I never knew it was such a popular sport
do you want to go play catch in the park
sounds good to me
boxing
what happened to your eye I was punched
in the eye
you got into a fight
yes but it's alright
I don't think fighting is okay I was
fighting in a boxing match
are you taking boxing lessons yes I go
every evening
have you ever fought in a competition
yes but I didn't make it to the finals
well maybe you should wait until your
eye heals to compete again I definitely
will it's hard to box with only one eye
open
track racing
I'm so sore from running maybe you've
been practicing too hard
I want to do well on the big race next
week after all that practicing you'll be
too tired to run
I won't I'm trying to get faster though
you're pretty fast
I feel like my grandma can run faster
than me you just have to believe in
yourself and you'll do well
I always get nervous before races maybe
you should run distance races instead
do you really think I have a good
endurance of course otherwise you
couldn't train this hard
cycling
do you like my new bicycle it looks very
sporty
it's a racing bike I bought it so I
could be in the triathlon Wow
I hear triathlons are difficult
you have to train hard for them
triathlons always based on the same
three sports
yes they are cycling running and
swimming it's so exciting I'll be sure
to watch you compete it's not a
competition against others
it's not no one can win first place you
can but I just want to prove to myself I
can do it
I'm sure you can all even sponsor you in
the race
snowboard
that skateboard doesn't have any wheels
that's not a skateboard
oh is it a surfboard then
no that's a snowboard
it's amazing how similar yet different
these three sports are they all take a
lot of practice in dedication
I think I'd like snowboarding best
why do you like it most
when you wipeout you fall in fluffy
white snow
that does sound better than falling on
concrete
it's also better than drowning in the
ocean snowboards are the best kind of
board in my book
hockey
this is a weird-looking golf club that's
not a golf club
what is it then it's a hockey stick
is hockey the game the men play on ice
yes it is it's a difficult game
it reminds me a lot of soccer I think
hockey is more difficult than soccer
why do you think that well you have to
skate soccer is just kicking
I think there is more to it than that
either way I'd be terrible at both
roller rinks
our skates are so different what do you
mean
your wheels are all in a line and mine
are not oh that's because these are
rollerblades
they look difficult to use they just go
a little faster
our skates Shore differences in
personality why are you saying that
yours are sharp and sporty but mine are
cute and practical I'll try to take that
as a compliment
anyways let's go back to skating let's
go
not like a real sport
what are those men doing with brooms I
think those are special brushes
are they going to clean the ice it looks
like this is some kind of sport event
look they're sweeping in front of that
rock
the internet says that the sports is
called curling
it doesn't seem like a real sport to me
me neither
all they do is throw the rocks
how did this sport make it to the
Olympics I don't know but I think it's
boring
the channel I wouldn't mind if you did
watching soccer games
you've been watching a
of soccer lately there's a different
game shown every day
that's because of the World Cup
everyone is talking about it all the
time
have you watched every single game no I
only watched the really important teams
do you choose which teams are important
well I cheer for the country's my
parents are from
teams do you cheer for well this
country's team of course
you choose from all the other teams
that's easy I cheer for the one with the
cutest players
Sports shop
I've never been in a sport shop before I
love looking at all of the equipment
everything is so colorful and new it's
so that players can personalize their
equipment
there are so many different sports have
never heard of before they have sports
stuff from all over the world
I feel like I want to try harder in
sports now
why do you have that feeling
that way I'll know how to use all of
this equipment for now I think it's best
to stick to the basics I agree
but being in here still makes me excited
me too especially when there's a sale
Dodgers fan
great shirt go daughters it's great to
find a fellow fan
do you think we have a chance at winning
this year of course the coach will not
let us down
have you ever been to an actual game I
tried to go to at least one every season
what's it like it's a great experience
children love going to the stadium
maybe I'll take my son to a game just
keep an eye out for flying balls
I'd be more worried about cavities from
sweets it's just a baseball game
you're supposed to pig out
playing hockey
do you like sports of course I do
awesome what's your favorite one hockey
it's the best sport there is
it's too violent for me I've heard a lot
of people say that
yes it looks dangerous
not really I've been playing for five
years and I'm okay
is that why you're missing your front
teeth yes but it's not that bad
it looks painful a little everything
else about hockey is fun
cool but I'll stick to golf
soccer mom
do I know you from somewhere I'm James's
mom they play on the same team
that's right it's nice to meet you it's
nice to meet you too
will David be playing in the game on
Saturday I'm afraid not he's fighting a
cold
that's terrible a bug has been going
around he missed a lot of school though
I see a las David to deliver his
homework that would be a great help
thank you
it's no problem at all
buying textbooks
hey you're in my English class yes I am
did you buy the textbook yet
no it's really expensive

over $200

could also buy the used version
that is a great idea I will give you the
website to buy used books thank you so
much
no problem at all
class registration

registration date
I actually would

classes at this college
I never get the classes I need have you
tried asking the professor for a spot

point we will graduate in ten years

about
I think we will graduate in 15 years you

no I'm very afraid
what is to be afraid about I am afraid
of the teacher
but you haven't even met her yet I have
heard bad things about her

let anyone laugh
that is ridiculous the older kids told
me that
they are just trying to scare you oh

what is the library you've never heard
of the library
I have never heard of it at the library

suspension
I'm planning to put gum and miss Millers
hair why would you do such a thing
because miss Miller gives too much
homework
she is so nice though
I do not care you might get suspended
what does that mean it means you have to
leave school for a while
that's the punishment yes it is worse
than detention
suspension sound like a vacation to me
say that to your parents
school and work
I have five classes and 40 hours of work
weekly your life is so stressful sadly
it is
I am only taking two classes do you have
work
I am too lazy to work don't you want
money though
my parents are rich I'm sorry to hear
that
they are poor but honest good people
good for you

expensive

faint after I tell you
just tell me it costs $15,000 per year
popularity
I wish I was a cheerleader
you want to be one
cheerleaders are popular popularity is
not important
if you're popular everyone knows you I
think you have been watching too many
movies no I have not
you can be popular in other ways
what are their ways
you could just be nice to people that is
so hard
this is why you are not popular
the bending machine
but lunch menu is so bad today
what is the cafeterias serving
leftover meatloaf and Brussels sprouts
that is disgusting
I'm thinking of buying something from
the vending machine
I wouldn't do that if I were you
what's wrong with the vending machine it
steals your money
vending machines can't steal yesterday I
inserted a dollar and no food came out
I think I'll just go to the cafeteria
meatloaf and Brussels sprouts sounds
good right now right
class presentation
I am so nervous for the class
presentation
don't be you're so smart
I know but I don't like big audiences do
you want my advice
of course I do
the audience in their underwear

presentation
I'll try it then you can do it
show-and-tell
tomorrow is show-and-tell yeah I know
I am bringing my new purse for

I'm not falling for that
choosing partners
did you get a partner for the geometry
project
I'm still looking around
do you want me to be your partner I'm
sorry but I don't
what is wrong with me you're known as
someone who is very lazy
that is so not true well that's what I
heard from our classmates
you can't always trust people you do
make a good point
give me a chance and I won't let you
down
okay I trust you
a laptop for school
mom can you buy me a laptop you are only
13
everyone in school has one they must be
rich then
I really need it what do you need it for
I want to bring it to school for
homework aren't there computers at
school
they are way too slow
back in my day there were no computers
I hate it when you say that
I hate it when you ask for things
help from a classmate
excuse me aren't you in my math class
yes I think I am
could I please borrow your notes
sure but please hurry with them
I will I only want to look over them
we went over some new material yesterday

different from what we learned
did the teacher mention the test the
test will be next week
thank you for your help sure good luck
studying
English dictionary
excuse me where can I find a dictionary
what kind of dictionary would you like
a bilingual dictionary would be nice
well there are many printed dictionaries
is there one you recommend personally I
like the digital dictionaries
do you sell those here yes
they're like mini computers
they are much more expensive aren't they
unfortunately they can be expensive
I think I'll stick with the printed
version either way I'm sure it will be
very useful
the bully
give me your lunch money stop it or you
will be sorry
are you arguing with me I'm tired of you
taking my money
I'm going to give you one last chance
are you going to hit me
I'm going to hit you hard I'll just tell
the principal
you are lying just hit me now and you'll
see I'm not lying
okay okay I'll leave you alone
nice shoes
I really like your shoes thank you
where did you buy them I bought them at
a store in the mall
were they expensive they were around $40
they look very comfortable they are
extremely comfortable
do they come in many other colors I saw
several different ones when I bought
them maybe I'll buy myself a pair
they are definitely worth the money
a salesperson
are you interested in buying this bike
that thing I don't think so
I assure you it is a wonderful sale
it looks rusted
that can be fixed with a light coat of
paint the chain looks old
just oil it a little and it will be good
as new
the seats is uncomfortable
all great bikes have high seats like
this
well how much are you asking for it
for this fantastic find only 140 dollars
no way if it is so valuable sell it to
the museum
a woman's eye
excuse me I'd like your opinion on
something of course sir
how may I help
my wife a new scarf that is very
thoughtful of you
her favorite color is blue so I chose
blue scarf what do you need me to do
well I was wondering which scarf was the
prettiest
I see well this one seems a little too
dark what about this one
maybe something with a nicer pattern is
this one all right
that one is perfect I'm sure she'll love
it
choosing flowers
where are you going I'm going to
for Valentine's Day
who are the flowers for my mom my sister
and my girlfriend
wow you are really thoughtful
I don't really know which flowers to buy
it oh well for your girlfriend something
romantic
red roses of course for your mother
something that smells nice carnations
she loves carnations
and for your sister
there's some pink roses thanks for your
help
picky shopper
excuse me miss yes
can I ask for your opinion on something
sure what can I help you with
do you think I would look better in the
blue or the red dress I don't think
either one is good on you
then what should I do
I think you should try on the yellow
dress
but I hate the color yellow then maybe
the purple dress would look nice too
I don't like purple either then I don't
know how to help you
okay thanks for your opinion anyway
buying a bicycle
I'm thinking of buying a bicycle that
sounds like a good idea
yes it would help me beat the car
traffic it would also help you save a
lot on gas money
I'm kind of scared though scared of what
to fall as long as you practice you
should be fine
yes but I could also get hit by a car
I think you will be okay just make sure
to buy a helmet too
online shopping
I love your blue bag thank you
I just bought it
it looks really expensive it really
wasn't I bought it used online
it looks brand-new I know and I saved
$200
Wow I wonder why they didn't want it
anymore I don't care as long as it was
cheap I'll take it
do you think I could find one online -
you probably could they have everything
online nowadays
that's true I'm going to go look now
good luck
bargaining
I want to buy this but $40 is too
expensive it is a high quality item and
worth every penny
it just looks a little bit dirty it is
just dust from being on the shelf
if no one has bought it and can't be so
valuable it is my last one because I'm
almost sold out
I'll buy it if you cut the price in half
that is too cheap I'll make no money
this product is cheap quality I'll lose
money
give it to you for $35
make it $30 and you've got a deal all
right $30 sounds fine
a bad employee
can you help me maybe I can
I need this dress in a size 8
not on the rack we don't have it
can you just check for me we don't have
that dress in size eight
but you didn't even check look I'm
really tired
I think you mean lazy can you ask
another employee
I want to talk to your manager no I'll
go find the dress
a hat
does this hat match my suit
well it's the same color
that's good enough for me are you going
to a dinner party
no I'm going to a job interview then
maybe you should wear a tie
that's a good idea also I would not wear
the hat if I were you
why not in much as well you look like a
mobster from the movies
don't have to make you look more
professional only if you're applying to
be a hitman
skateboard
I want to buy my son a skateboard do you
know what kind of board he'd like
I was thinking a basic board there are
many different kinds
is there one that is safer than the
others not really you should buy safety
equipment
what should i buy a helmet some elbow
pads and some knee pads
can I also have some wrist guards
certainly you may choose any color you'd
like
I came for a skateboard and left with
the whole store well safety always comes
first
key confusion
I can't unlock the door maybe it's
because the key is brand-new
at all are you sure the key is not
upside-down
I flipped it five times it still doesn't
work
no the door is still law let me try to
open it
maybe you'll have better luck I see what
the problem is you're using your old key
oops I'm so used to my old house it's
alright
eventually you'll get used to this one
a nice blue color
I don't like the color of the walls it's
a very bright color
I want to repaint the whole house what
color will you use
I was thinking a nice blue color
that sounds very nice and soft
will you help me paint the house I think
we will still need help
I'll just ask others to join us will you
pay us
I'll pay you with pizza and soda it's a
deal I'm hired
broken window
my son broke a window yesterday
how did he do that
he said he was practicing his pitching
he was pitching against the window
no against the side of the house if he
missed he's not a very good pitcher
no but he's pretty fast and can run long
distances how do you know that
I chased him when I found out he broke
the window
well you contributed to his training
as his coach might be is three months of
his allowance
what a coincidence that's enough for a
new window
air conditioning
why are you cutting into the wall
I bought a new air conditioning unit
I don't know that's how you install it
have you ever installed one before
no but that still looks wrong I think I
know what I'm doing
I see water pipes behind that wall
think that's good for the
air-conditioner
I don't think so either
will you call some professionals now
I guess that's the best thing to do you
should have done so from the beginning
nails in the wall
you have so many portraits on your wall
I love displaying all the pictures I've
taken
how do you hang all the picture frames I
just hang them on the wall
you don't use nails do you
well yes I do
you're not allowed
use nails in an apartment why not it
ruins the walls for the next tenant
I didn't think about that you'd better
use poster putty the next time
I'll cover all these holes with paint
Christmas decorations
you sure bought a lot of Christmas
lights
house to be shining this Christmas
do all of the houses on the block
decorate yes they do it is quite
beautiful
I can't wait to see when it's done a
parade marches by every year so people
can see them
what are you doing on the roof I'm going
to make it look like it's snowed up here
are you using Christmas lights and
cotton that's right I'll install a Santa
Claus too
you sure are full of Christmas spirit of
course it only comes once a year
outdoor barbecue
the house down the street is on fire
do you know
there is smoke coming up from the house
did you call 911
I'm going to call right now I think
they're having a barbecue
this is nothing to joke about
no I mean the smoke is coming from a
grill
oh that explains the delicious smell
were we invited
I'm afraid we were not house odd-even
after saving their burning house
how many roommates do you have there are
five of us in total
Wow don't you ever fight sometimes but
we try not to
who does all the household chores we
take turns so that it's fair
that's a good way to do things
yes it is and it helps us get along
better
what about when one of you has a
girlfriend over
we agreed to try not to have them over
too often
I guess it would be a tight squeeze
any of our liking
pets in the house
who let the dog inside I did what's the
problem
he got mud all over the new carpet that
wasn't him I just gave him a bath
look closer these look like footprints
well they're not mine they're too big
they're not mine either
I haven't been outside
I think those are dad's footprints I
think you're right
dad's in big trouble now yes he is
maybe he'll sleep in the doghouse
tonight
I don't think the dog wants dad as a
roommate
late mortgage payment
I made a terrible mistake
what's the problem
I made the check for the mortgage and
didn't mail it when was it due
yesterday I thought I sent it three days
ago it was just an honest mistake
do you think I can send it now well you
have to they may charge a late fee
though
I have to be more careful when making
the payments yes you do
I'd hate to be evicted
don't joke about things like that I'm
sorry
I'll go mail the check now
closet space
I need a bigger closet
I think you just need fewer clothes
a woman can never have too many clothes
she can if they don't fit in her closet
maybe we should take your things out of
it then where would I put my clothes
you can put them in a small wardrobe I
think it's easier if you throw some
dresses out
my dresses are nicer than your clothes I
only have the clothes that are necessary
so do I I need to look nice more often
than you do I wish your attitude was as
nice as your dresses
the big announcement
I have a big surprise for you is it a
new toy
no it's a big announcement that doesn't
sound very exciting
we are moving to a new house what's
wrong with our apartment
well a house is bigger apartments are
cozier
you can have a dog in the new house but
we already have a cat
the new house has a tree house in the
backyard now there is a big surprise I'm
so excited
mice
there are holes in the wood in the
garage
are they big or little
they are actually quite tiny that is
very worrisome
why do you say that you could have
termites or carpenter ants
you mean bugs could be eating at my
house yes that is a very serious problem
what should I do you need to fumigate
them immediately
bugs are such a hassle I wish they were
all dead
attic
I want to form a secret Club that sounds
fun where would the club meet maybe we
could meet in my attic
away it's dark up there we just need to
take flashlights
what if we fall through the ceiling I
don't think that will happen
most addicts are haunted in movies
do you really believe in ghosts
no but I don't want to risk it
maybe the attic isn't such a good idea
let's meet in the living room instead
housewarming party
I'm planning a housewarming party is
that to celebrate buying a heater
don't be so sarcastic
I really don't know what that is
it's so that we can meet our neighbors I
don't really want to meet our neighbors
quit being so negative
what do we do at this party
everyone brings a dish and we sit eat
and talk sounds like a regular party
it's a regular party
next time don't call it something so
strange
house hunting
this is the perfect house for us it has
all the bedrooms we need
each bedroom even has a bathroom
the backyard is huge
and we finally have a pool what's the
price for this house
I didn't expect it to be so high this
house is hideous
I agree we should look for a different
house a house like this wouldn't be so
bad
as long as the price tag doesn't make it
hideous let's check the price first next
time
lawn management
what is that you're writing it's my new
riding lawnmower
it looks like a sporting vehicle mowing
the lawn can be a sport
like a very exciting sports
it's exciting on a riding mower
how long does it take you to finish the
lawn around 20 minutes
it takes me an hour most of the time
this tool is fun and convenient
can I borrow it sometime
no way a racer never lends out his race
car
a filthy pool
the pool is filthy I forgot to put on
the cover last night
there are mosquitoes buzzing around it
they lay their eggs in the stagnant
water
how are we supposed to go swimming you
have to wait until I clean the pool
can you clean it now I have to before
more mosquitoes hatch
try not to get bitten I'd hate to be
hospitalized for a mosquito bite
if you are make sure you finish the pool
first your concern over me is
heartwarming
shingles
what is that black goo you're carrying
it's roofing tar
are you replacing your shingles yes I am
the roof has been leaking in the rain
isn't tar very messy yes I need to be
careful with it
how long does it take to finish it takes
several hours to replace all the
shingles
I think you'd better work very quickly
why do I have to work quickly
it looks like it's going to rain again
tonight sometimes I think Mother Nature
just likes being mean
raccoons
there is garbage all over the ground
those raccoons knocked over the garbage
cans again
I feel like calling animal control would
they take care of the problem
I think they'd come and catch them what
would happen to the raccoons
they'd be released into the wild would
if they put them to sleep
I didn't think about that maybe it's
better to buy chains for the trash cans
I think so too that way we won't kill
any raccoons
noisy neighbor
I am tired of living in my apartment
building didn't you just move in a few
months ago
yes but I really regret it why do you
regret it so much
my neighbor is a percussionist that
sounds awesome
I love the drums
you wouldn't love them at 3:00 in the
morning he plays that late into the
night
all the time that sounds like I live in
a jungle why don't you just complain to
the landlord
I didn't want to cause problems your
neighbor caused problems in the first
place
a perfect place
my apartment is too far from work have
you considered moving
I've thought about it where would you
move to
I don't like the neighborhood around my
job what about the next one over
then I'd be too far from school there
are some apartments in between the two
I went to see them but they were too
small why don't you live in a townhouse
I suppose that would be a good idea of
course it's a good idea it was my idea
furniture
i repainted my house so i need some new
furniture what pieces are you looking
for
a new table a sofa and maybe a reading
chair what's wrong with your old
furniture
it doesn't match the room anymore
is it still comfortable to use yes I
think I will sell it
you can also get it reupholstered are
you crazy
that is much too expensive
it depends on where you have it done I
still say that takes too much effort
to help you takes too much effort to
roommates
apartments are so expensive these days
only rich people can afford to live in
them
my landlord raised the rent so I'm
moving out where will you live
I don't know yet I have to search for an
apartment
are you going to live alone
well I've never had a roommate before
I would find one if I were you it would
be helpful in paying the rent
host an ad on Craigslist and see who
replies if a psycho becomes my roommate
I'll blame you if that happens I'll stay
far away from your apartment
going slow
why is the guy behind me honking you are
going too slow
I'm driving up the speed limit everyone
drives fast in this town
no one follows the rule you're the only
one
I should yell at him no he'll just be
even more mad
good he deserves to be mad I don't know
if he's dangerous
I'll just go even slower that would
really annoy him
driving fast to work
why are you driving so fast I have to be
at work on time
do you really have to yes I will be
fired if I'm late
I don't want to die relax I'm a good
driver
a good driver doesn't drive extremely
fast we haven't even hit anything yet
I bet you're going to get a ticket how
much do you want to bet
if I win you're never driving me if I
win you have to shut up whenever I Drive
feeling unsafe
how long have you had your license
only two days
I don't feel safe why not I passed the
test
did you get a perfect score
no but a lot of people don't
what was your percentage 75% which is
totally fine
can you just drop me off here are you
serious
yes I don't want to get hurt fine don't
ever ask me again for a ride
carpooling to school
driving is so bad for the environment we
should carpool

Drive for the rest of the week then

back you can also get a steering wheel
cover
I might as well get matching seat covers
too I'll give you my sister seat and
steering wheel covers

to my car
scared for life
you have not driven in a month I just
like staying home these days
what is really going on honestly I'm
scared of getting into an accident
you weren't scared two months ago my
best friend got into a car accident

careful
just scared
you shouldn't be if it happened to my
friend it can happen to me

I can't wait
asking dad for a car
dad I don't have my own car your mom and
I talked to you about this
I wasn't paying attention we don't have
enough money for a new car
can't we just take some loans you can
just use the old car
it's so ugly though money doesn't grow
on trees
everyone at school has a new car get a
job and buy one yourself
but no one wants to hire me then you're
going to have to
Drive an old car
customized license plate
my license plate number came in today do
you like it
it's just some random numbers and
letters you should customize it
I can do that yeah I did
what does your say mine says Cali 95
why did you choose that
California and I was born in 1995
that is pretty clever Thanks you could
do something similar
a long trip
are you sure you want to go to Seattle
yes I am sure
it's an eight-hour drive I know let's go
if you say so
I'll Drive for the first four hours
did you bring food I brought sandwiches
and bottles of water
good I brought the napkins let's get gas
first
yes we need a lot of it
my car was stolen
my car was stolen I am so sorry to hear
that
did you happen to see anything
suspicious yesterday well I did see a
man looking at your car
what time did you see this man
I saw him at about 2:00 p.m.
I wasn't home at that time then the man
I saw could be the criminal
what did he look like I couldn't really
see his face
I'll never find the criminal I hope you
have a good insurance plan
buying a new car
hi is there a specific car you're
looking for
I'm looking for a convertible
we have a wide selection right here I
don't see what I want here
really we have over 100 convertibles
I'm interested in a purple convertible
that's a rare color in any car dealer I
guess I have to go elsewhere
don't go we have colors close to purple
like what exactly
we have blue cars blue is blue purple is
purple goodbye
put your seatbelt on
is your seatbelt on of course it is
I can tell you're lying fine
the truth is I never put my seatbelt on
why not that's so dangerous it feels so
uncomfortable
say that after you get into a car
accident I'm never going to get into an
accident
there's other reasons you should put
your seatbelt on and that is
you're going to get a ticket really fine
I'll put my seatbelt on
California driving test
are you nervous for your driving test
yeah I don't want to fail
you won't you've been practicing a lot
there's one thing I was never good at
what is that one thing right turns
what's wrong with your right turns
they're too wide
we can practice right now you would do
that for me
of course I want you to pass all right
let's do this
switching lanes
the traffic in this Lane is terrible
that is
probably some car accident you should
switch to another Lane
okay I'll switch to the right lane wait
there's a car coming
that was scary I almost hit that car how
could you not see that
I didn't look in the rearview mirror you
are such a bad driver
hey everybody makes mistakes I think
it's only you who makes such mistakes
watch the Walker
make a right turn here watch out there's
a person walking
I see him he walks so slowly
is he doing this on purpose
maybe we should tell him to speed up
that's kind of mean
then we'll wait
I know I can honk at him that is even
worse than talking to him
forget it I'm driving straight ahead
you're more impatient than I thought
the fancy car
you got a new car how did you know
I saw it in your driveway what do you
think of it
it's really fancy yeah it was expensive
how much was it it was over $100,000
that's four times as much as my car it's
a brand-name car
you must be pretty rich then
no I just really like fancy cars
to get a ride
hey can I get a ride I don't know you
very well
we're in the same math class I know but
we're just classmates

problem my car stopped in the middle of
the road did you run out of gas yes I
think I did there is no gas station

borrow your phone are you planning to
call a tow service yes I think it's all
I can do if you'd like I'll Drive you to
the station thank you so much it's no
problem let's get going
crazy traffic
I hate driving in this city why do you
hate it
there's traffic everywhere you go I know
that can be stressful
how do you handle it it's just about
finding two things
and what is that first you need to find
a lot of patience
what's the second thing then you need to
find a lot of shortcuts
can you show me some of these shortcuts
sure I'll show you around tomorrow
thank you so much I was about to go
crazy
oil change
I think my card needs an oil change why
don't you go buy the oil and do it
yourself
I am not familiar with the process
I can teach you to do it if you'd like
I'd be grateful if you did
next week
that is too long from now can you do it
sometime this week
I have too much work to do it this week
then maybe you should take it to the
mechanic where can I find one nearby
look it up in the yellow pages or even
online
guitar lessons
did you hear about the Community College
no what about it
it's offering summer courses I'm too old
to go back to school
those kind of courses are not the ones
I'm talking about what are you excited
for them
they're offering music lessons that
sounds interesting what kind
they teach almost every instrument there
is
Wow I've always wanted to play the
guitar
do you really think you can with such
fat fingers
spyware
you
my computer won't turn on did you charge
the battery
yes I charged it all night have you
dropped it recently
no I've never dropped it maybe it has a
virus
you mean maybe it's sick no you may have
downloaded spyware
do you think I need a new computer
probably and some spyware protection too
I bet it was the government spying on me
I really doubt you're worth spying on
a public pool
this is the hottest summer ever I bet
you could fry an egg on the sidewalk
there has to be some way to cool off
let's go to the mall it's
air-conditioned
I bet the whole city will be there then
let's watch TV at our house
that sounds boring there's nothing good
on TV what do you want to do then let's
go to the pool to swim
I think I'll pass why don't you want to
go
if the sidewalk and fry an egg the water
will boil us
a get-well card
David did not come to work again today
he must be very sick to be absent the
whole week my sister made him some soup
yesterday
soup is very good for sick people to eat
apparently it wasn't good enough what
else does one do for a sick person
I'm going to send them a get-well card
that is very nice of you
maybe I'll get the whole office to sign
it good idea but I suggest you mail it
to him
why can't I take it to him if you catch
is cold it will be more work for us
ceiling fans
you
my house is much too stuffy nowadays
it's the hot weather
I bought an air-conditioner but it
doesn't help at night I heard it's bad
to leave it on that night
why can't I leave it on that night it
causes you to catch a cold
I bought a fan but it makes too much
noise
why don't you install a ceiling fan
are they quiet yes and inexpensive too
is it easy to install yes if they
weren't they'd fall on people all the
time
an earthquake
did you feel the earthquake last night
yes the whole house was shaking
I was afraid the windows would shatter a
lot of my collectibles fell off the
shelves
did they break unfortunately some of
them can be fixed though my cat was
outside when the earthquake started
no that's terrible is she okay she's
fine
animals have good natural instincts
I
people could predict earthquakes too I
think it would just make people panic
more easily you're right
maybe it's best to leave it to cats
shiny shoes
you
are you wearing those shoes with your
suit yes is there something wrong with
that
well they are very dirty and scuffed up
they're the only shoes I have
your shoes are fine but you should shine
them do I have to
it would make a good impression
others being shiny make a good
impression
your employer will think you are very
meat is that important
a neat person is more likely to be hired
unless they're late for work from
shining their shoes
a community tree
do you have a chainsaw yes but why do
you need it
I want to cut down the tree in my yard
what's wrong with it
it's a beautiful tree
it drops too many leaves there are
squirrels in that tree
the roots messed up my water system the
neighborhood children love climbing it
birds land on it and poop on my car
people love the romantic and cooling
shade it gives
I suppose the tree does have some good
points
if you see the good the bad won't seem
so bad
the phone bill
you didn't answer your phone last night
the phone company cut my wireless
why did you pay your phone bills I
refused to pay the last one
why didn't you want to pay it it was
much too high
did you make many long-distance calls I
thought it was free to call others as
cell phones
only if they're from the same provider
oops
then it was my fault
you'd better call the company and
apologize for this mess can I use your
phone mine is still dead
like James Bond
did you watch that show on TV last night
do you mean the one about the zombies
yes isn't it a great show I didn't watch
the whole episode
why not didn't you like it I did but my
son didn't
he is too young to be watching that show
I know I didn't mean to let him watch it
how did he see it then he snuck into the
living room after his bedtime children
are so crafty in getting what they want
tell me about it my son is like James
Bond
rain gods
it's been very sunny lately hasn't it
yes it has some rain would be very nice
I don't think it will rain for quite
some time maybe we can do a rain dance
and summon rain do you believe in that
no but who knows maybe it does work I
don't see how dancing around would bring
rain well it would be pretty funny
looking
the rain gods would laugh at us maybe
they'll laugh so hard they'll cry
I don't think I want tears as rain me
neither
I suddenly don't mind the sunny weather
a new phone
can I have your phone number what do you
want it for
I got a new phone and all my contacts
who are deleted you never call me anyway
what if there's an emergency you won't
need me in an emergency
why don't you want to give me your
number I don't like giving my phone
number to people
all right can I have your email address

I was only trying to be friendly
well stop trying you're not getting my
email either

fishes

I have two cats and three dogs wow
that's a lot of animals
I know but I love them so much
I could own a cat someday
you're not happy with your fishes
not really I can't even pet them
maybe you could get a snake I'm not that
desperate

fresh but I want to spend time on
beaches we always go to beaches

time

the first takeoff it was very simple and
enjoyable

coach tickets

work permit though

your confidence will surely get you a
job

business what kind of business
I'm going to make a robot that does
chores have you made the robot yet

how long have you been watching TV about
10 hours
you need to get a job why you and Dad
makes so much money

the job interview

questions nope I'm ready to go
okay great tell me about yourself I'm 35
years old with a degree in teaching
why do you want to become a teacher I
want to improve students as futures

hire you Thanks I hope to hear from you
soon
being a teacher
what is your job I'm a teacher
what grade do you teach I teach ninth
graders
do you like your job I hate it
what do you hate the most I hate that
they never listen to me
you can always punish them
I hit them
you what I'm just kidding
the first job
I'm trying to find a job and it's hard I
think it's because you have never worked
before
you're right employers like to see
someone with experience that is
unfortunate
I can't get a job if no one will give me
a chance
try to sell yourself
how am I going to do that talk about
your talents
I can lick my nose
talent
I'm the captain of the
basketball team there you go try
mentioning that
a bad first day of work
how was your first day of work it was
terrible
what happened my co-workers bullied me
how did they bully you they said I
didn't deserve to be there
you're the most passionate veterinarian
I know I don't deserve this kind of
treatment
do you have any idea why they bullied
you it's because they're a lot older
than me
you need to talk to your boss yeah I
will
lunch break
it's finally lunchtime
I've been counting the minutes
how long is our lunch break it's 30
minutes
that's it I worked for five hours I know
it's terrible but what can we do
can we protest
we would get fired
but we deserve a longer lunch break I
agree I think we should have one hour
let's start a petition rather than
protest a petition is a perfect idea
nightshift
I have the worst job shift ever no I do
my shift is from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. my
shift is from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m.
okay I was wrong you have the worst
it's ruining my health
I have to change my sleeping schedule I
can never have dinner with my family
anymore me too
my parents are mad at me
mine too they want me to quit let's quit
together yeah
let's quit next week
the customer is always right
I realized that I hate my job
what's wrong with it
I always have to treat customers like
royalty even when the customer is wrong
my job the customer is always right
tell me about experience you had
a customer dropped his drink on me once
and then what happened
he started getting mad at me that is so
unreasonable
then my manager told me to apologize you
should quit
you
a bad customer
hi how are you doing today I am fine
just so you know we have a huge sale
today good to know
we also have dresses that just came in
today can you please stop talking
I beg your pardon I just want to shop
but you keep talking
I'm just doing my job you're not very
good at doing your job
it's my job to tell you about our sale
you're just really annoying
I got fired yesterday you're lying
you're the best worker there
I really got fired how is that possible
my coworker said I was stealing from the
company is that true
of course not I would never steal did
you tell your manager that
I tried but my coworker put a necklace
in my bag she must really hate you
she's really jealous of me
jealous and mean
should I move
you
I'm thinking of moving to Texas why you
love California
I do but there's a great teaching job in
Texas how much would you get
I would get $70,000 a year how much do
you make now
I
$60,000 a year I still don't think you
should move
really why not all your friends and
family are here
are there any other reasons I think
you'll learn $70,000 if your patient
a doctor or a nurse
you
I am a nurse
why didn't you want to become a doctor
doctors have to go to school longer but
they get more money
nurses get a lot of money - not really
doctors have more prestige
prestige and money doesn't matter to me
good for you
are you a doctor I'm going to be one in
four years
a lot can change in four years I know
but I believe in myself
over time
I have overtime next week
what does that mean
it means I'm working more hours than
usual
what are your usual hours
I usually work eight hours a day for
five days how about next week
a
another 8 hours on Saturday but mom was
planning a party on Saturday
I can't make it can't you tell your boss
that's not how the real world works
I wish the world was perfect
asking for a raise
Hey mr. Smith are you busy
not at all what's going on
I've been working with the company for
10 years yes and I appreciate your
dedication
I think I should get a raise for my
dedication of course but it must be
reasonable
I think I should be paid $30 per hour
that's a little too much
a master's degree and I'm a great worker
I know but the economy is bad
how about $25 an hour
now that can be considered
you
night owl
you are late to work again
I'm very sorry
how do you manage to make it late every
day
I don't mean to be so late
you look very tired I didn't get enough
sleep
if you sleep earlier you'll rise earlier
I can't sleep that early
why are you a night owl
I'm just very busy with housework
well set your alarm and wake up on time
I won't be late again I promise
where to eat
I am so hungry me too my stomach is
growling
are there any good places nearby do you
want to go to the restaurant across the
street
oh no that place is so dirty
I heard the food was good
food is good but not the place itself
what's so dirty about it
the staff only cleans the tables once a
day
Wow that is crazy anything else
the bowls and plates are not washed well

hotdog stand

my friend said
hotdogs are really great the line is
always really long
I say we wait for them they're just hot
dogs my friend said everyone should try
it at least once
do you always listen to your friends no
but their opinions matter
my opinion is forget the hot dogs
fine I'm going to eat one in front of
you you won't even
you will ever reach the front of the
line
a new item
you
would you like to try our new item for
free if it's free then of course
great here it is what is this

beef that is absolutely disgusting

know it's going to taste bad
please try it you might love it
I'll just have a slice of pizza
I will get that for you thanks and take
back this movie
the long line outside
may I have a table for three of course

really long time
I apologize for the long wait does the
line go all the way outside

freezing there are already too many
people inside

another chance
getting a sandwich welcome to Sara's
sandwiches
hi I don't know where to start
let's start with the bread
want something healthy and tasty

tomatoes lettuce onions and cucumber

sandwich

the picky eater
you
I am going to get the spaghetti I don't
know what to get
just pick whatever looks good this is so
hard
why don't you get the pizza it's too
expensive
how about the hamburger it's too
fattening

you are way too picky I'm just going to
get water

one glass of iced tea
I'm sorry but we are out of ice tea how
can you be out of ice tea
we didn't get all the ingredients iced
tea is all I want
sir we have plenty of other drinks
I guess lemonade would be okay
lemonade coming right up wait you should
give me a discount
I will give you a 15% discount good this
restaurant is doing something right
today
allergic
have you been to this restaurant before
yes the last time I came here was 2
years ago
does it still look the same it looks
nicer now the paintings are amazing
does the food taste the same yes they're
crab cakes
tastes great as always
I am a
- crap that's too bad
it's okay the chicken sandwich is just
as great I'm allergic to chicken
what aren't you allergic to
all the stuff that tastes bad
this chicken is so plain
this chicken is so plain I agree with
you
should we send it back no I don't want
to give the waiter any trouble
should we just leave this restaurant
then no we already got here
what in the world do we do then I know
let's add chilli sauce and lemon
what a great idea okay here I go
well how does it taste it tastes so much
better
food poisoning
I am going to get the meatloaf get
anything but the meatloaf
what's wrong with the meatloaf I got
food poisoning when I ordered meatloaf
here
thanks for telling me no problem I'm
going to get the egg rolls
I'm still going to get the meatloaf did
you not hear what I said
I did but I'll take the risk don't say I
didn't warn you
don't worry I won't
have fun throwing up later
breakfast for dinner
I want to get pancakes are you crazy
it's 8 p.m. does it matter
it's dinnertime I know but I really like
breakfast food
why don't you just wait for tomorrow
morning I'm too patient
I'm going to get actual dinner food
sure go ahead
you know they might not have pancakes
right now
I would go to another restaurant then
you really like pancakes
I don't like pancakes I love them
a far trip for food
do you want to eat something really good
yeah of course
there's this incredible Italian
restaurant okay let's go now
we'll get there in four hours are you
joking
the restaurant is in Las Vegas Nevada
we're not going all the way there for
food
why not it will be fun there are a lot
of Italian restaurants here
but they're not as good fine we can go
tomorrow
an expensive bill
excuse me miss yes what can I do for you
this bill is incorrect it is indeed
correct
I thought this plate of noodles was $10
you misread it it is $100 not $10
why is it so expensive there are rare
ingredients in it
what exactly are these rare ingredients
caviar lobster and a special type of
mushroom
I am not paying for this you already ate
it so you must pay for it
chopsticks
I have a problem what is wrong
I don't know how to use chopsticks
that's too bad
doesn't this restaurant have spoons and
forks
no this place is really traditional
how can I eat my noodles then you can
use your hands
I am NOT a wild animal you can learn how
to use chopsticks
it's too hard it's not I'll teach you
the beauty of the face
do you want to go to a buffet what is a
buffet
it's a restaurant where you can eat as
much as you want
that sounds awesome
yeah it is you'll be full when you leave
what kind of food is there
there is sushi noodles dumplings and a
whole lot more how much is it
it's $15 per person that's a reasonable
price
I can't wait to go there
to tip or not to tip
that was a delicious dinner the waitress
was bad though
don't be me
she dropped soup on my dress
she did not drop it on purpose
she also took forever to bring out the
food
maybe she is a new employee I am NOT
giving her a tip
oh come on at least give her a small one
even going to put a penny
fine I'll put a tip you are way too nice
give him a good tip
what did you think about the waiter he
was nice
we should give him a 40% tip that's too
much
you said he was nice he was nice but he
wasn't excellent
can we at least give him a 35% tip
why do you want to tip this guy so well
he is my friend from school oh I see
he's the only one who works in his
family
fine we will give him a good tip
weird water
is it me or does this water tastes weird
it tastes weird
I'm glad it's not just me it tastes
sweet
I think the staff didn't wash the
glasses the customers before us probably
ordered soda that's why it's so sweet
yeah it's water mixed with soda we are
drinking someone's saliva gross
we should complain we should ask for a
free drink
I agree with you
the faithful customer
hi sir I have seen you a lot I come to
this restaurant twice a week
may I ask why
I really like the food and the
environment here
I'm pleased to hear that any time
anyways
I'll have my usual order
don't you ever want to try something new
no I really like the ham sandwich
I recommend the omelet I'll try it if
you give me a discount
because you're a faithful customer I
will thanks for the good service
food at 1 a.m.
Wow I'm the only one in this restaurant
well it is 1:00 a.m.
why doesn't this restaurant closed
earlier it's trying to make more money
that's pretty smart just curious why are
you here at this time
I couldn't sleep maybe you should see a
doctor
no it's just a one-time thing I see what
would you like to order
I'll have an egg and two bacon strips
you'll have it very soon there are no
other customers here
free water
I am so thirsty sorry I don't have water
is there a restaurant nearby yeah
there's one two blocks down
let's go there I thought you wanted
water not food
I still do want water then why are we
going to a restaurant
we're going to get water for free and
then leave that is so rude yeah but we
save money
you're so cheap
fruits or vegetables
tomatoes are so strange
what's so weird about them
my dad made a cake with them yesterday
that's a little unusual I guess
also we eat them in solids all the time
why is this so amazing
you don't usually eat vegetables in
desserts tomatoes are a fruit
that's like saying strawberries are not
really berries actually they're not
I feel like I've been lied to all my
life well at least you can use them both
in solids
frozen or take-out
I am so hungry
why don't you heat up a TV dinner
tired of eating frozen food it's not
frozen once you heat it up
you know what I mean
to order a pizza
we had pizza two days ago we may still
have leftovers
can we go get takeout only if you do the
driving
on second thought I'll heat up the TV
dinners you're the laziest person I know
cake
tomorrow is my son's birthday are you
going to bake him a cake
I was thinking about it
what kind were you considering
that's what I'm not sure about
well all kids love chocolate
that's true but it has a lot of sugar
why don't you make it plain vanilla
I don't think the kids will eat a plain
cake then mix them and make chocolate
swirl cake that's an amazing idea
another good idea is to let me lick the
frosting bowl
snacks
I get so hungry during the day that's
not good you should eat more
maybe I'll start taking snacks to work
you can store them in the cafeteria
fridge
I'm afraid others will eat them though
you know you might have a point
I could write my name on the containers
that's a good solution
what kinds of things should I take
though you can wake up early and make
lunch
you know maybe it's not worth all the
effort you mean you don't want to give
up your sleep
apples
why are some apples green and others red
won't the green ones turn red later
no I think they will always stay green
then there are just different kinds of
apples
but what makes them different their
genetics I guess
what if a long time ago someone colored
apples red then why are there green ones
because the painter made a mistake what
do you think happened to that painter
the Apple Queen probably chopped off his
head I think you've seen Alice in
Wonderland
too many times
paper gum
do you have any chewing gum I don't have
any sorry
what are you chewing on then it's a
piece of paper
do you know how dirty paper is it was a
brand-new sheet
why are you chewing it though I forgot
to buy gum so I'm chewing paper
what if you get a paper cut on your
tongue
I really don't think that will happen
I still say it's a bad idea but at least
I'm chewing something
bubble tea
why do they call this bubble tea I think
it's because of the balls on the bottom
they don't look like bubbles to me I
told my sister they were frog eggs
did she believe you yes she started
crying
why was she crying she said I was mean
for eating baby frogs
I agree with your sister you're pretty
mean it was just a bit of fun
well did you know there really fish eyes
you're definitely not funny
chopsticks
what a delicious meal don't stick your
chopsticks in rice like that
what's wrong with it it's very bad
manners
oh I didn't know that you also shouldn't
hold them in your mouth
where should I put them then just lay
them neatly across your plate
Chinese restaurants
a lot of rules are you kidding fancy
restaurants have three forks
never mind I prefer two sticks to Three
Forks definitely so mind your manners
please
all noodles
don't put your cup of noodles in the
microwave why not they're better this
way
the styrofoam will melt and get in your
food
how am I supposed to heat it then
heat the water and then pour it in it
seems like so much work though
it's worth it to be healthier you're
right it takes longer though
it'll take even longer if you keep
complaining okay okay
I'll heat the water now
don't heat it for too long or you'll
burn yourself I think I'll just eat them
raw as a snack
mystery meat
what is in this can
I don't know it doesn't have a label
it looks like a corned beef can
well then open it and we'll cook it
it smells a little strange maybe it went
bad
why is the dog so excited dogs love meat
so he can probably smell it
wait a minute I think I know what this
is what do you think it is
it's the dogs canned dog food
were so lucky he discovered this before
we did
going Dutch
let's go get lunch
where do you want to go
let's try that new restaurant down the
street only if you're treating
I think it's your turn to pay the bill I
paid it last time
I think you're wrong it's an expensive
restaurant
I really want to try it though if you
want to go in we'll pay separate bills
that sounds fine to me maybe we should
do that more often
frozen yogurt
you want to get some ice cream ice cream
is really fattening
all deserts are fattening
why don't we just eat some yogurt
I want something cooler
haven't you ever heard of frozen yogurt
I don't think that's really yogurt is it
ice cream them
I think it's healthier than ice cream it
tastes good and that's all I care about
well then let's get some frozen yogurt
all right I just don't know where to buy
it
imported chocolates
my grandma bought me some chocolates
yesterday that is an impressive looking
box
she said they were imported chocolates
what does that mean
I don't know but it sounds impressive I
think it means that they come from
another country
would people go through that much
trouble for candy
chocolate is considered a delicacy in
some places
it's ironic that it's almost worthless
here have you tried it yet
yes it's delicious well that's imported
chocolate for you
strawberry banana
this is the most amazing smoothie ever
what is so amazing about it
it's made with the fruit humans invented
how did humans invent a fruit
I think the process is called
crossbreeding
that's amazing what is the fruit called
the name is a little uncreated Oh tell
it to me
it's a strawberry banana you mean you
got excited over a strawberry banana
smoothie
wasn't making two fruits into one a
great idea I think you misunderstood
this whole situation
fish and chips
the Fish & Chips dish looks delicious do
they let you choose the chips you want
maybe they're just salted potato chips
the picture on the menu shows french
fries
maybe that's an alternate choice I don't
think so no other chips are listed
do you think maybe the French fries are
the chips maybe they're both made from
potatoes
that is a very confusing menu I agree
they must get a lot of complaints
oh well you can have the chips I think
you mean french fries
sour cream
what's the white stuff on your food it's
sour cream want to try some
I don't think so it sounds gross it's
not really sour
why is it called sour cream then I think
it's because they let the milk go sour
to make it
you're eating sour milk yuck
cheese is made in a similar way
I thought cheese was made with bacteria
of course bacteria causes milk to go
sour
dairy products are so strange
even so I think they're delicious
don't spoil your dinner
James eat your candy after dinner please
I just want to eat a little now
you'll spoil your dinner
my food won't rot if I eat a little
candy
what do you mean when food spoils it
goes back my food won't go back
it won't rot but it won't taste the same
either why won't it taste the same
well if you eat the candy now it will
stay in your mouth I guess so
why is that bad
I don't think you want blueberry
flavored mashed potatoes you're right I
don't all eat the candy later
cotton candy
I wish I could touch the clouds I bet
they would be soft like cotton candy
maybe they're made of cotton candy
that's impossible
well they're both fluffy that's all they
have in common
both clouds and cotton can be dissolved
with water clouds don't dissolve with
water then why do they disappear after
it rains
that's actually a good observation I
never want to try white cotton candy
though
me neither I imagine it will taste like
mint
bacon
I love putting bacon in everything I
cook it is a delicious food
did you know you could even put it in
chocolate that's amazing it tastes
wonderful
they're my two favorite things
I heard bacon is actually bad for you
though how can something so delicious be
bad
it makes it harder to pump blood through
your body that sounds dangerous
I heard it can really shorten your life
I'd rather live a short life happily
eating bacon
I think you need to work on your
priorities
very confusing
there are so many different kinds of
berries
I can't tell some of them apart
me neither it is a difficult task
raspberries and blackberries have the
same shape
just remember that raspberries are red
then why is raspberry candy always
colored blue
I think that's because cherry-flavored
is already red blueberries are even more
confusing
why they're the blue ones
well when you mash them they look purple
I don't think anyone eats mashed
blueberries
it's easier to eat them all in a pie
then they all taste good together
garlic
I'm making the food for the party
tomorrow I heard you are a fantastic
cook
thank you I do my best do you have
everything you need
I just need a few more items
vegetables are so expensive
it's not so bad when they're not charged
by the pound what about when you need a
lot of one kind
it's usually fine except I always buy
too much garlic it's because the
packages sell 5 heads instead of 1
I can never use all the garlic and it
goes bad well at least your house will
be safe from vampires
online accounts
do you have any online accounts what is
an online account
something you use on social networks I
don't know what those are
websites where you talk about yourself
why would I want to do that
so you can make friends
I already have friends
you can make more friends but I don't
need more friends
forget I mentioned anything you're still
my friend
right
joining Facebook
you should add me on Facebook I don't
have a Facebook
why don't you make one I don't have
money
Facebook is free to join
what do I have to do
go to the website and sign up it says I
need an email address
don't you have one I don't remember the
password
don't you ever email friends I like
texting better
profile pictures
why are you taking pictures of yourself
I need a profile picture
just use any picture
I need it to be perfect
have you added any new friends I added
our classmates
the girls - a few of the girls
a good picture won't get you a
girlfriend maybe they will think I am
handsome
why would they think that girls like a
guy with a nice smile
birth date
why does Facebook need my birthdate
so people can know how old you are
but my friends know how old I am people
who are not your friends
I don't want them to see my age what's
wrong with it
it's better if I seem older
why is it better
then I will see more mature but you post
about cartoons a lot
adults can watch cartoons those adults
should get a job
private messaging
the cute girl from class added me on
Facebook has she sent you any messages
not yet I'm still waiting
what makes you think she will we have a
lot in common
how do you know we posted about the same
TV show
why don't you send her a message first I
am afraid she will reject me
just try to be friends for now I can't
message her if you're here
fine then I won't help you
pictures on Facebook
I saw the pictures of your date
yesterday it wasn't a date
didn't you go to the movies yes we went
to the movies together
then it was a date the girl was my
cousin
I see that was my mistake you should not
assume things
so Facebook dating did not go well
don't just use Facebook for dating
what else could it before I play games
sometimes too
foreign friends
I met someone online yesterday who is it
a boy from Budapest where's Budapest
I asked him that question - What did he
say
he said it is in Hungary is that very
far away
thousands of miles away how can you be
friends then
I just like talking to him
maybe we'll teach you Hungarian
Facebook games
why did you fall asleep in class today I
stayed up late playing Farmville
what is that a game on Facebook
you play too many games you should play
with me sometime
no way I don't want to
why don't you
I don't want to be a zombie
what's a zombie
what you'll become if you play too many
games I guess I should play less often
detention
are you ready to go home I can't go home
yet
why do you have club activities
No I have detention
why do you have detention because I did
not turn in the homework
weren't you homesick yesterday yes I was
very sick
then the teacher should understand he
saw pictures of my party on Facebook
if you're not sick you shouldn't stay
home I think I'll just unfriend him
pictures on Facebook
you were a cute child
how would you know
your mom posted your baby pictures on
Facebook when did she do that last week
didn't you see them
no my laptop is in the shop most of our
classmates have seen them
this is too embarrassing it is not that
bad
I'm going to make her delete them I
should mention there are videos too
my reputation is ruined
two irresponsible
I was fired from my part-time job
why did you get fired
my boss said I was too irresponsible
didn't you do good work for him
I missed a few days of work
not a problem
I went to the arcade and he found out
did you post pictures on Facebook again
yes but I didn't know he'd see them
everyone can see your Facebook
I'll be more careful next time
just don't do bad things at all
deleting my profile
I'm deleting my Facebook
I thought that you liked Facebook
I do but it's inconvenient are the games
not fun anymore
that's not it did you get bored of
reading posts
no I still like them did you lose
interest in your friends
of course not then what's the problem
it's too easy to be stalked don't worry
only attractive people are stocked
blogging
I found a new social networking site
that's cool what's it called
it's called tumblr it's a blog site is
blogging different from Facebook
it is very different and much more fun
why is it more fun
you get to see more people's posts what
kinds of posts
many different kinds based on your
interests it sounds fun is it free
yes it's free all right
I'll join just don't follow my blog
tumblr famous
I am following my favorite artist on
tumblr
why are you following their blogs
I'm hoping they will see my drawings
what would that do
I heard that some artists find jobs this
way you mean
the artist hires them
sometimes if their art is good that
sounds amazing
tumblr is very good for getting noticed
I want to be a singer
maybe you can post some songs on tumblr
I don't think Lady Gaga will notice me
application obsession
do you know about phone applications not
much are you looking for one
I want to download the tumblr app if you
do you'll never do any homework
why do you think that you'd waste time
on your phone all day
don't you think I am responsible I know
you're not responsible
why would you see that because you never
turn things in on time
maybe I'll enroll in online classes they
won't be anything like tumblr
my shark sister
I'm tired of living with my sister I
don't like living with mine either
there should be a place to send annoying
siblings what kind of place I don't know
maybe the zoo
my sister is too wild to live in a zoo I
think she'd scare all the animals
yeah and eat all of their food
what about the aquarium
I guess the shark tank would be a good
place it's too bad that humans can't
breathe underwater
what a shame it was the perfect plan
family reunions
do you want to come to my house tomorrow
my mother says I'm not allowed to go out
this week
while to go out we are having a family
reunion
your whole extended family is staying
over at your house yes I'm looking
forward to seeing my cousins
are they fun to play with yes last year
we played a trick on my grandpa what did
you do
we replaced his denture glue with
toothpaste
think that's very funny
it was when his teeth fell into the
mashed potatoes
playing outside
mother may I go play outside have you
cleaned your room yet
I promise I'll do it later you said that
yesterday go clean it now
I really mean it this time I'll clean it
later all right go play for a bit
or I go may I have a cookie you can have
it later
but it's the last one someone else might
eat it you can have it now if you go
clean your room
I think I'd rather go out and play
then I think I'll have a cookie for a
snack
Mother's Day
do you like this new dress I bought it
looks a little too big for you
I bought it from my mother is it for her
birthday
no it's a present for Mother's Day is it
that time of year already
yes Mother's Day is next week I have to
hurry and find a gift for my mother
I'm sure it will be easy I hope it won't
be difficult
by the way you never told me what you
thought of the dress it's beautiful
I am sure your mother will love it
Father's Day
I don't know what to give my dad for
Father's Day why don't you give him a
card
I already bought a card but I want to
give him a present too
what does your father like to do he
likes to cook
maybe you can give him a chef's hot be
serious that gift is not practical
other sorts of things does he like he
likes carpentry
what about getting him a new carving set
that sounds like a good idea
let's look for one online
new webcams
computers are so amazing I agree
I love the new webcams
did you buy one recently my laptop came
with one my mother loves it
who does your mother use it to speak
with
she calls my great aunt from out of
state
I didn't know you had a great-aunt
neither did I
that webcam is bringing your family
together it really is I cannot wait to
meet her
I thought you already talked to her
often I do but I will meet her in person
next month
mother and son
son come here please
what is it mother
Did you touch the frosting after I told
you not to
no I didn't touch the frosting
then tell me why is it all over your
face I ate some but I didn't touch it
you should not tell lives I am not lying
my hands did not go near the frosting
then how did you eat it I used a spoon
so I didn't touch it
I didn't disobey you
you knew what I meant no dessert for you
tonight that's all right
I've already had some frosting
an afternoon fishing
dad why do you like fishing so much
fishing is a good way to clear your mind
is that because everything is so quiet
that is exactly why
don't you get bored just sitting and
waiting there is more to fishing than
just sitting and waiting
what do you mean to be a good fisherman
you have to read nature the same way you
read a book
almost the same way you'll learn in time
is that what you like most about fishing
no I like fishing together with you the
most
be yourself
the girls at school don't want to be my
friends why don't they want to be your
friends
it's because I don't dress like they do
there was nothing wrong with the way you
dress they listen to different music
music is pointless if you don't enjoy it
they curl their hair and eyelashes
doing that every day damages your hair
maybe if I do those things I can be
their friend
it won't be fun to do things you don't
enjoy then who will be my friend
I'm your friend because I like you for
who you are
watch your brother
we have to babysit this afternoon
why can't we ever go out with mom and
dad
they say they need time away from
children we're not children anymore
I guess that's why we have to watch the
baby
what do you want to do first
you can play some video games do you
want to have ice cream for dinner
that sounds good to me
oops I spilled chocolate on the carpet
we'll say the baby did it maybe
babysitting isn't so bad
a day at the beach
it's too cold to go swimming today
that's okay we can make a sandcastle
dad forgot the buckets at home
we can explore the tidepools
maybe we'll find some craps I think I'd
like a seahorse better
we can put them in our aquarium that's a
great idea
how will we carry them without buckets I
forgot we don't have any
what is there to do now wait until it's
time to go home
snow fight
why did you throw snow at your brother
it was a snowball fight
he said he didn't know you were playing
well he should have known once he felt
the snowball
does this have anything to do with the
snowman you mean the one he knocked down
that's exactly the one I mean maybe but
I just wanted to have a snowball fight
you should be nicer to your brother
he should be nicer to my snowmen go say
you're sorry and play nicely
only a piece of sorry first
family photo
can spotty be in the family picture too
no he cannot
dogs are pets not family
is older than I am that still doesn't
make him a human
sometimes it seems like he can talk I
said no so the answer is No
what if we put a hat on him
why would you want to do that
then he'll look just like my little
brother you're really attached to him
aren't you
yes he's like part of the family too all
right he may be in the photo but no hat
you can that grandma's
I'm sorry my grandma took away my phone
what did she do that for
she said it was too late to be talking
on the phone you said you'd call me at 9
p.m. that's the time she sent me to that
how can anyone sleep so early
she said that was her usual bedtime
I guess old people need to sleep longer
not really she woke me up at 5:00 a.m.
this morning
Wow your grandma really loves sunlight
I'm so exhausted
having a brother
is that boy you walk home with your
brother
no he's my neighbor
does he go to your house often we hang
out there almost every day
your parents don't mind that of course
not
they've known him since we were children
he might as well be your brother
I prefer having close friends to having
a brother what's wrong with having a
brother
brothers always fight over things they
don't want to share
are you afraid he'd take your things
no I'm afraid he'd take my girlfriend
sisterly advice
how do I get that boy to like me just be
yourself and act naturally around him
I already do that and I still don't have
a boyfriend
you will once the right boy comes along
how do I know which boy is the right one
you'll know because you'll fall in love
how do I know if I'm in loved or not all
the love songs will make sense
the only one that makes sense now are
the sad ones don't worry just be patient
and you'll see you really think so
yes good things come to those who wait
rather we love
I told you not to go into my room
I was just looking for a pencil
you're always making up excuses my
explanations are not excuses
you just want to snoop around my room
don't want to be in your smelly room
and stop going into it then help me find
the things I need
fine from now on ask me for anything you
need you promise not to get angry with
me
only if you promise not to annoy me
deal can I have a pencil now
