Hello I just moved here from germany.
I do like watching cooking shows.
I love rollercoasters and sky diving.
I am not a good swimmer at all.
I'm a vegan and I love hummus.

My mom is coming to visit me tomorrow.

I'm here for shoplifting.

I'm currently in a juvenile detention center.

I will be released in about a month.

I'm from another country.

I want to be better in the kitchen.

I enjoy thrill rides and jumping from airplanes.

My sibling works at a club.

I enjoy eating vegetables.

In 24 hours my mother will be at my home to see me.

I am not an honest person.

I had a run in with the law.

My prison sentence ends in 30 days.

[Speaker 1] Do you like hummus? I enjoy it very much.

[Speaker 2] No I don't like hummus. I'm locked up.

[Speaker 1] I'm from germany, do you like roller coasters?

[Speaker 2] I'm using the library at the juvenile detention center.

[Speaker 1] Are you good at swimming? I can help you get out.

[Speaker 2] I'm a great swimmer. What is the plan?

[Speaker 1] Do you have access to explosives and or nun chucks and can you skydive

[Speaker 2] I'm scheduled out in a month, but if the sooner the better.

[Speaker 1] I can get you out tonight, watch the cooking show instructions will be in the credits.

[Speaker 2] Ok, what channel does it come on?

[Speaker 1] Channel 13, this may get bloody, but just remember, the banana only stretches once.

[Speaker 2] I am ready to blow this popsicle stand. Lets do this. Gotcha, banana.

[Speaker 1] I just moved here from germany I am sorry I can not help you

[Speaker 2] What? You said you would help me, what kind of low life are you?

I like hummus.

I'm from German. I just moved from Germany.

I like swimming.

[Speaker 1] What are you most excited to do again once you leave Juvenile detention?

[Speaker 2] I can't wait to sleep in my own bed. I watched channel 13, I need you to send new instructions LOL

[Speaker 1] I bet! How are the beds there? I could only imagine how uncomfy they might be! I can do that.

[Speaker 2] It isn't so much the beds as it is the lack of  peace and quiet. ... I get why it's like that, It was my own choices that got me here. So, How are you liking your new home? Do you miss Germany?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I do like my new home I just get a little home sick at times. I defiantly miss Germany.

[Speaker 2] How long have you been in America?

[Speaker 1] It's been a little less than a month, so I'm still adjusting but it's been challenging!

[Speaker 2] I have never been out of the state, much less the country. It must be all new!! Do you like the food here?.... that's the next thing I am excited about leaving juvi for ... good food

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, the food has been very tasty! The pizza in America is amazing. What is the first thing you want when you get out?

[Speaker 2] PIZZA!!! ... what kind of toppings do you like?

[Speaker 1] Mmm, so yummy! I love banana peppers on mine! What's your favorite topping?

[Speaker 2] all meat is my fav!  with extra pepperoni. Hey,,,, the banana pepper reminded me of the stretchy banana you joked about regarding escaping me from juvi ... Escaping is such a temptation but I keep reminding myself that it is less than a month now

I like hummus.

I'm from German. I just moved to America from Germany. I just moved into a new home.

I like pizza. I like banana peppers on my pizza.

I don't like hummus. I'm currently incarcerated. I am scheduled to be released from Juvenile detention center in a month. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. It is my own fault for being here.

I like swimming.

[Speaker 1] I am getting my house all set up.  The last of the boxes are unpacked.

[Speaker 2] That must feel so great to be almost completely unpacked!  What state did you end up moving to?

[Speaker 1] For now I'm in California. I moved here because I'm a pro disc golfer and needed to be closer to the pro tour action. My sponsor suggested I move here so that I can play more and make more money at it.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense.  It must be nice to live somewhere with such gorgeous weather!  Do you have any family or friends in the state?

[Speaker 1] Only the people that I know from disc golf. I'll make some more friends along the way I'm sure. Yes, the weather is pretty nice here and much different than where I'm from in Germany.

[Speaker 2] I bet there are lots of other differences from Germany besides just the weather.  What other differences have stood out to you the most?

[Speaker 1] The way people act and drive is really different. The food is also quite a bit different. There are also a lot of differences in how things are laid out and organized here vs Germany. I feel like it's pretty chaotic here, but I'll just have to adapt.

[Speaker 2] I think even people who are native to America would agree that California can be a bit chaotic haha!  What do you think of the food?  Better or worse than the food you are used to in Germany?

[Speaker 1] I haven't had a chance to try much in the way of food. There just seems to be such a focus on fast food here, which I don't really like. Hopefully, I can find some good restaurants that have better food.

[Speaker 2] California has a wide array of restaurants, and there is a big interest lately in healthier options.  I'm sure once you explore the area a bit that you'll be able to find some grocery stores and restaurants that are a bit more appealing.

[Speaker 1] I've found the grocery stores to be very similar to Germany, only the brands are different. I've found Aldi here, which is a Germany chain.

[Speaker 2] I never realized that!  I feel like Aldi definitely has a cult following...I've never really been that impressed with it though.  I wonder if the quality of Aldi stores is different in the states versus in Germany.  I feel that here, a lot of people like to shop at Whole Foods.  Have you ever been?

I like hummus.

I'm from German. I just moved to California from Germany. I just moved into a new home. I've been in America for less than a month. I think the way people act and drive is different from Germany. I also think the food is different. I don't like the focus on fast food here. The grocery stores here are similar to Germany.

I've unpacked the last of our boxes.

I like swimming.

I've never been out of the state or the country. I'm looking forward to good food. I like all meat pizza with extra pepperoni.

I have never been impressed with Aldi.

[Speaker 1] So what are your plans once you are released from juvenile detention?

[Speaker 2] I am hoping to be able to travel and find somewhere to build a new life with opportunities where my past can be forgotten. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] Have you finished high school yet? GED?

[Speaker 2] I have finished high school and I actually have really good grades. I just got involved with the wrong group of people and ended up doing something silly. My best subject is Maths.

[Speaker 1] Then you need to go on to university! You can probably get a work-study stipend. STEM is a great field to work in right now.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully they take my background into account when considering giving me an offer, and not just my silly mistakes. I really do want to go to university. I just worry that I will be judged because of what I have done in the past

[Speaker 1] I don't think you even need to mention it. In Germany, juvenile records are protected and confidential. I think it's the same here. I believe university administrators are mostly concerned about academic achievement. If you have any legal problems as an adult, the adult authorities will deal with it.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, that is reassuring, thank you! My academic records are pretty flawless because I love learning. I am definitely going to apply to university. Maybe I should use my time left in this detention to sort out my application, could I email you if I have any problems?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I'm not a rich person, but If I can help in any other way--time and energy--please let me know.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's what I meant. Just the know-how and some questions about what they might be looking for me to include in my personal statement etc. Did you go to university?

[Speaker 1] Yes I did. Heidelberg, for medicine. I'm attached to a hospital in San Francisco as a neurologist.

[Speaker 2] That is such a commendable job. I hope to be able to have a positive impact on the world at some point with my work. Do you enjoy being a neurologist?

I like hummus.

I've unpacked the last of our boxes.

I am a pro disc golfer. I have a sponser. I am not a rich person.

I went to university. I studied medicine. I work at a hospital in San Francisco. I am a neurologist.

I like swimming.

I have never been impressed with Aldi. I live in Germany.

I want to travel. I want to build a new life. I want to forget the past.

I finished high school. I am good at math. I want to go to university. I have good academic records.

[Speaker 1] Have you looked at any universities you'd like to apply to?

[Speaker 2] i have done a little bit of research, i really want to study in america. there are so many options! do you know of any good universities in california?

[Speaker 1] There are plenty of good schools in California. Any of the UC or Cal State schools are excellent.

[Speaker 2] that is so great, i feel like there are so many more options there. maybe you would be able to show me around a little bit, show me your favorite parts of california when i get out?

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! I'd be happy to do that.

[Speaker 2] i am so happy to hear that. do you think they would let me shadow you at your job? i could watch some of your disc golf games as well, since i have never played. have you had a chance to visit other parts of the state yet?

[Speaker 1] I imagine they'd let you shadow me. I don't think you can go into the surgery wards, but I'm sure you could see regular patients. I've not had a chance to visit other cities in California yet, but I'd love to.

[Speaker 2] now i have something to look forward to, getting out of this place. this is the best i have felt in a while! how is your disc golf going by the way? have you worked your way up the ranks yet?

[Speaker 1] Disc golf is great. It's a fun sport, and I need to find a league here in California so that I can play again. I'm missing my disc golf league back in Germany.

[Speaker 2] i bet. hopefully you can find a league soon. you must miss everyone back home in germany. do you plan to come back and visit soon?

[Speaker 1] I do. I'm probably going to fly back twice a year or so. Unfortunately, I'll need a week-long vacation to make that happen. and I don't think I'll have too much time going forward.

[Speaker 2] hopefully you can make it work. it is important to see friends and family, and i know that life can get so busy. i know i felt like my family was too busy for me, which is one of the biggest reasons i am excited to leave this country


I am here for shoplifting.

I'll be released in about a month.

I am currently in a juvenile detention center.

My mom is coming to visit me tomorrow.

I feel old.

I enjoy going to the park.
My favorite movie is friday.
I'm a doctor.
My daughter is a child prodigy.
I'm now looking for a new job.

I am not an honest person.

My prison sentence ends in 30 days.

I had a run in with the law.

In 24 hours my mother will be at my home to see me.

I ache all over.

I like being outdoors.

A film named after the last day of the work week is the best.

My job is a gynecologist.

My little girl is a genius.

I am seeking a different employment opportunity.

[Speaker 1] Hey! How are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Great how are you? I went to the park today.

[Speaker 1] I bet that was very relaxing. I wish I could leave the center

[Speaker 2] What center are you at? I'm work at a center as a doc.

[Speaker 1] I am at a detention center for juveniles

[Speaker 2] Oh, wow. That is interesting. I have a daughter that is smart.

[Speaker 1] I wish I was smart enough not to do stupid things like shoplift

[Speaker 2] Oh! That is one of the reasons I am looking for a new center to work at.

[Speaker 1] You do not like the place you are at now?

[Speaker 2] I need to find a place for my daughter to go to school.

[Speaker 1] It is good you are close to your daughter. My mom is seeing me tomorrow

[Speaker 2] Changing subject, what is your favorite movie? Mine is friday.

[Speaker 1] I like comedy movies but do not have a favorite

[Speaker 2] Where does your mom live?

[Speaker 1] She lives in texas with me. What about you?

[Speaker 2] We live in nebraska. So do you get to leave the detention center?

I like comedy movies.

I live in Texas. My Mom lives in Texas too.

I live near a park.

I am a doctor. I work at a center.

I am looking for a new place to work. I need to find a new school for my daughter.

My favorite movie is Friday.

I live in Nebraska with my daughter.

[Speaker 1] So how is the weather in Nebraska - has it started to warm up yet? It doesn't get so cold down here in the south.

[Speaker 2] It's not very nice today, just 55 degrees, but this time of year it can change pretty rapidly. The weather forecast says it should be nicer on the weekend, so maybe I'll go out for a walk with my daughter.

[Speaker 1] Nice. I just wish I could go out for a walk at all. Just three more weeks and I'm out.

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear. Do you have any plans for what to do when you get out? I guess you must miss seeing your friends.

[Speaker 1] I really want to go out to the movies with my old friends. Some of them never visited or wrote me, though, so I don't know where we stand.

[Speaker 2] I think you should still contact them. If someone disowns you just for getting in trouble when you're young, they're not a very loyal friend. Lots of people get in trouble when they're young. And if they love films as much as you do, it could be a good way to reconnect with them.

[Speaker 1] I will get in touch, I'm just afraid they don't want to do anything with me anymore. Even though some of them shoplift just like I did, but didn't get caught.

[Speaker 2] Don't be scared. In life, sometimes people won't want to be your friend because they judge you, but that's fine, you wouldn't want to be friends with someone who would judge you negatively either. When things go wrong, that's when you find out who your friends really are. The important thing, no matter how old you get, is to use your experiences to improve yourself.

[Speaker 1] Good advice. How old is your daughter, by the way? Is that the kind of stuff you tell her?

[Speaker 2] She's 10. As a parent of course you try to give your kids good advice, but mostly they don't take it. As they say, 'a lesson merely heard is never a lesson learned!' Everyone needs to make their own mistakes and learn from them.

[Speaker 1] I agree, just hope the mistakes aren't too bad. Are you still trying to switch schools for her?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but it's not that easy because I'm also trying to change my job at the same time, so I have to do lots of things at the same time. I think she could get a better education at a different school but of course it's harder to get your kid into a good school.

I like comedy movies.

I have old friends that have not contacted me since I have been in jail.

I am a doctor. I work at a center. I am looking for a new place to work.

My favorite movie is Friday.

I live in Nebraska with my daughter. I live near a park.

I have a 10 year old daughter. I am in the process of changing my daughters school and my job.

[Speaker 1] How often do you bring your daughter to the park?

[Speaker 2] I take her on the weekends alot when it's not too cold. She enjoys the park a lot.

[Speaker 1] I really miss visiting parks. There here a little green space at the detention center, but it is not enough. I am looking forward to getting out.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any idea when you may be getting out?

[Speaker 1] It will be a little while. They are very harsh here in Texas. But it will happen. One day I could be a dr like you.

[Speaker 2] Yes you could. You are still young and you have your whole life ahead of you!

[Speaker 1] I hope so. I also want to have kids one day like you do. It must be great.

[Speaker 2] It is nice. It's like having a friend who is also a mini version of yourself. I wouldn't mind having another.

[Speaker 1] How many do you want? I want a lot of kids one day. And they won't go to jail.

[Speaker 2] Maybe just one more. I don't want too many kids because I still want to live comfortably, both financially and mentally haha

[Speaker 1] They are expensive. First I need to get a job to earn money.

[Speaker 2] Have you thought of any jobs you'd like to have when you get out?

I am in a detention center for juveniles. I have shoplifted and been caught. My mom comes to visit me at the center. It will be a while before I get out of this detention center in Texas.

I like comedy movies.

I used to visit parks.

I am young. I do not have kids. I eventually want to have a lot of kids.

I do not currently have a job.

My favorite movie is Friday.

My daughter likes the park. I like my child. I only want to have one more child.

[Speaker 1] I just asked and was told I will be here for one more year. What do you think the first thing I do when I leave this detention center should be?

[Speaker 2] I would go and see your mum and thank her for visiting you. Then go and have the best meal of your life.

[Speaker 1] You're so right. If I had money I'd take Mom out to dinner but that'll be hard. Guess it will have to wait till I can earn some money.

[Speaker 2] That is fine, you can make it a goal to keep you track and something to aim for.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I wish I could make some money on a computer or something. Like fill out surveys and stuff. I can type fast, I think.

[Speaker 2] It might help to get you started but I am not sure if it will give you a long term income. You could always try some free online courses to gain some skills?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, but I don't know if anyone will hire me for a normal job. I've heard it's real hard especially if you don't have work experience. Do you ever work with people that were in detention before?

[Speaker 2] We all make mistakes at point in our lives. Many people are willing to allow others have a chance to improve if you just have a go. Maybe try some volunteer work while you are doing some online work? This way you can demonstrate that are suitable for normal work.

[Speaker 1] Yeah maybe. I could work with kids and help them not make the mistakes I made, you know?

[Speaker 2] That would be a great idea. Not only will it help you but think about all the other kids you might help avoid detention.

[Speaker 1] For real. It is so horrible here. I wouldn't wish it on anybody ever.

[Speaker 2] If you have learnt from your mistake then it is not completely wasted.

I am in a detention center for juveniles. I have shoplifted and been caught. My mom comes to visit me at the center. It will be a while before I get out of this detention center for one more year in Texas.

I like comedy movies.

I used to visit parks.

I do not currently have a job. I'd like to get a job working on a computer. I don't have much work experience. I'm worried my past will keep me from getting a good job.

I would like to help kids keep from making mistakes like myself.

My favorite movie is Friday.

I like volunteer work.

[Speaker 1] Do you think your daughter will want to follow in your shoes and be a doctor one day?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure. I've thought about it, but it isn't something I want to push on her. She's under a lot of pressure as it is changing schools and moving. Really, right now all I want is her to be happy and focus in school and do well. As long as she is successful, I'll be happy with whatever she decides to do I think. But I wouldn't be mad if she decided to follow in my footsteps!

[Speaker 1] Good to keep your options open, and be receptive. Sometimes we have to listen better, and our kids will show us, tell us what they need. I admire you being a doctor

[Speaker 2] Thank you. I admire your work, too. We have both dedicated our lives to the helping of others. I think that you must find your work with children extremely rewarding, even if difficult at times.

[Speaker 1] It seems like a natural thing, although these days I'm trying to listen to the kids better. We have our pre conceived notions, and sometimes if they're happy being simple, let that be.

[Speaker 2] Once you get your life together, and get focused, I'm sure you'll be able to provide lots of help to other children that were in your position.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. The big thing is being seeing with equal respect, and asking questions, before making judgments. Judgments can shut me down sometimes, from others. We have to make amends too.

[Speaker 2] People will always have their judgements. I think it's best to try and not let it have any bearing on what you do and how you feel, and always just follow your heart. You're not a bad kid, you've just made some mistakes. I think you have the right attitude to really turn this thing around.

[Speaker 1] We will see. We are learning all kinds of things at school. We learn Speech and Debate, Writing, although listening skills, why they never teach that. Have you ever taken classes on that?

[Speaker 2] Of course! We have to take all kinds of classes before we can ever go to school for our Doctorates. I also took classes like speech and debate. But I think you prose a very important question about "listening skills", because listening is fundamentally so much more important.

[Speaker 1] Agreed. I follow and trust by example. Just have a couple rules to be my friend, maybe I'll tell you what they are some day.

[Speaker 2] Well, whatever those rules are, I'll be glad to be your friend and help you with anything I can!


I love middle eastern cuisine.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is too bad! I'm from chicago

[Speaker 1] Wow what is it like there?

[Speaker 2] Cold and windy now.. Not too great

[Speaker 1] Ouch. It is very nice here like a summer breeze

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Good. Just got in from feeding the horses. How are you doing?

[Speaker 1] How many animals you got and I am doing good

[Speaker 2] My horse is called buttercup. We have six in all. Do you have pets?

[Speaker 1] No just listen to some music and relax

[Speaker 2] Yeah. Are you from the city? I dream of moving from this tiny town.

[Speaker 1] Hope your dreams come true just working a lot to pay off my new car

[Speaker 2] Yeah. Maybe I can get my law degree. What kind of car?

[Speaker 1] Nissan and country living fun hope you get your law degree

[Speaker 2] Me too. My dad wants me to raise horses like he has and his dad.

[Speaker 1] Well last night taylor swift signed my shirt she's nice I like horses

[Speaker 2] You must like taylor swift. That is cool. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Thinking about dye my hair and just work

[Speaker 2] Where do you work? I am still in high school

[Speaker 1] Manager at a gas station and that good hope your grades is good

[Speaker 2] Grades have to be good for law school. So how is your job?

I have a new car which is a Nissan.
I like Taylor Swift. I like horses.
I am a manager at a gas station.

I live in a small town.

I am in high school. I want to go to law school.

[Speaker 1] Where do you want to go to college?

[Speaker 2] I would like to go to law school eventually! Did you go to college?

[Speaker 1] I went to college, but I have dropped out. Maybe I should not have, I don't like my job very much.

[Speaker 2] Where did you go to college? I'm sorry I misread your question to start .. Doh! I'm open to anywhere so it would be interesting to know how your experience was. How long have you been doing your job?

[Speaker 1] I was a community college in my town. At the same I got a job at the gas station, and I worked there since then. So it is about 15 years.

[Speaker 2] Fair enough. That's a long time to be in a job that you don't like - maybe you should try and find something different, something to do with horses? Have you been riding recently?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, maybe I could learn something about horses, like therapy with horse. I have not been on a horse since September, I miss it very much.

[Speaker 2] It could be something to do in your spare time - I imagine you get a bit of downtime during night shifts at the gas station? You are welcome to come and see my horses if you'd like, they are missing you :)

[Speaker 1] I would like to. Can I go in the evenings ? I work from 8h00 AM to 6h00 PM most of the days.

[Speaker 2] Yes definitely! now it is lighter in the evenings you can have a good couple of hours with them! Do you remember Buttercup? She's so grown up now you probably wouldn't recognise her!

[Speaker 1] I remember her, she was very shy. Do you ride her ?

[Speaker 2] She isn't shy anymore, she's such a character! Yeah she's the one I ride the most, as she's my first horse. The others I tend to let other people ride :) Shall we arrange something for later this week then? Shall we say Wednesday night? Horse riding on the beach?!

I have a new car which is a Nissan.

I like Taylor Swift.

I like horses. I have not ridden a horse since September.

I live in a small town.

[Speaker 1] Why do you want to go to law school?

[Speaker 2] My dad had a property dispute when I was a kid and we lost some land because of a law and he wasn't represented correctly. I started looking into it when I was 11.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that was very precocious of you.  I've never had to hire a lawyer, or be represented by one, fortunately, but I know they do important work.

[Speaker 2] There are so many laws out there that most people have no idea about. And of course, why would most of us need to know. I think about your job, you've been there a long time and do things I have no understanding of. But I don't work at a gas Station. I bet you know so many customers. Do you like the people ?

[Speaker 1] I don't really feel I know them, so I can't say I like them.  But I do sometimes get amused observing them.  How they dress, what they buy, what they drive, and how they act.  It's very impersonal though.  But I like to guess what I think they'll buy when they enter the store.  Who'll buy cigarettes?  Lottery tickets?  Health food or junk food?  That kind of thing.

[Speaker 2] LOL,,,, I bet that makes the shift go faster. Do you go back to the farm and have lots of animals to care for after yous shift is done?

[Speaker 1] No, I moved off a farm last year and into an apartment.  That's why I haven't been on a horse in months.  I like having my own place but I miss the open space and animals.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I bet that's closer to work, anyway. You mentioned that you want to color your hair. What color do you want to dye it?

[Speaker 1] I was in a pretty bad mood when I told you that and was thinking about dying it whatever color would most annoy my boss.  But now I'm thinking something less extreme that still expresses my gloomy mood, like jet black.

[Speaker 2] Jet black can look exotic. Does your work limit you on being able to dye your hair or have tats or piercings.?

[Speaker 1] There are no formal rules but the boss gives people a hard time about those types of things.  I usually try to keep him off my back and look presentable but he's been more annoying recently so I sort of feel like riling him up intentionally.

[Speaker 2] haha,,, that made me snicker. I wanted to dye my hair bright pink. I suggested it to my dad and he just gave me that "look". So I will wait. I do wonder how acceptable it is for a lawyer to have pink hair. What do you think?

I have a new car which is a Nissan.

I like Taylor Swift.

I am a manager at a gas station. I work from 8am to 6pm. I dropped out of community college. I do not like my job. I have worked at a gas station for 15 years. I like to observe customers at times. I find my boss annoying as of late.

I have not yet hired a lawyer to represent myself.

I no longer live on a farm, and I have moved into an apartment. I have not ridden on a horse in months. I like animals and open spaces.

I want to dye my hair jet back.

I have 6 horses. My horse's name is Buttercup. I ride my horse Buttercup the most. My father and grandfather raised horses.

I want to dye my hair bright pink.

[Speaker 1] Are you thinking about becoming a defense attorney, and if so what kind of cases would you be interested in taking. Would you consider becoming a prosecutor?

[Speaker 2] I think I'm more interested in corporate/property law as a career overall, but I might work as a prosecutor or public defender for the experience.

[Speaker 1] That sounds tough. I guess corporate pays a lot more, but it's less interesting. Do you think you'll be able to have pink hair and be a lawyer? Never seen that before!

[Speaker 2] Heh, the legal world tends to be a bit conservative, so probably not. But while I'm in school, I don't see why I can't.

[Speaker 1] True! You should definitely go wild while you can. Are there a lot of people at your school with hair like that?

[Speaker 2] Not many. Blue, but not pink. I'll have to give all of that up once I pass the Bar.

[Speaker 1] That sounds pretty hard. So much reading involved! But in the end you can be like one of those lawyers on Law & Order!

[Speaker 2] Hollywood law? Nah! Real law practice isn't as exciting or glamorous. Mainly it's a lot of research, writing, reading, and filing documents with the courts.

[Speaker 1] Ok now it sounds really boring. But at least you'll be able to afford more horses!

[Speaker 2] Yes indeed! But horses come with their own set of liabilities, you know...

I have a new car which is a Nissan.

I like Taylor Swift.

I want to dye my hair jet back.

I watch Law & Order on TV. I think being a lawyer is boring.

I live in a small town. I am in high school. I want to go to law school ever since I was 11. I want to become a lawyer because my father wasn't represented properly during a property dispute. I want to go into property law. I might consider working as a public defender or prosecutor.

I just dyed pink hair.

[Speaker 1] I found a new show about lawyers. Have you ever seen the show called "Suits?"

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't. Between work and taking care of the horses, I haven't had much time lately to watch TV. How is it?

[Speaker 1] Not as boring as I imagined! I am getting into it! Talk about some dramaaaa. I think you should check it out.

[Speaker 2] Wait! Why are you watching shows about lawyers? I thought you thought being a lawyer was "boring"! Not so boring now, eh?

[Speaker 1] Real lawyering can't be like it is on TV. It is like all of those dramatic doctor shows.

[Speaker 2] Okay, true. I'll admit that most real lawyering is nothing like television, and can be extremely boring. But it also depends on what kind of lawyer you are, too! So, where can I watch this "Suits" show you were talking about?

[Speaker 1] It is on Amazon. I would check it out. Will your dad be upset that I am recommending it? Don't tell him it was me.

[Speaker 2] Why would he be upset? I think he watches this kind of stuff, too. Every since that property dispute he likes watching court stuff. I think he wants to be more knowledgeable about it.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. I just know he wants you on the farm.

[Speaker 2] He does. But he knows it isn't my dream. And after seeing what happened to him and him losing all that property to the bank, I can't stand to see him or anyone else have to deal with that kind of bullying again without the best representation.

[Speaker 1] The world needs more people like you. I just work at the gas station to pay the bills and then sit around and watch shows on Amazon. I wish I was providing more to society.

[Speaker 2] I know it may not seem like much, but someone has to do it. You are providing something to society. Maybe start putting more thought into what you'd want to do if were to leave working at the gas station? Maybe start making some plans for the future?

[Speaker 2] Nothing, too young male and been very I'll, too.

[Speaker 1] I'm not I will, but I'm overweight

[Speaker 2] Oh, that isn't good for your health.

[Speaker 1] No. It got worse when my wife left me

[Speaker 2] Wow, and I thought having a transplant for my heart that was outside my body was bad!

[Speaker 1] Well, that's bad. I'd pray for you but I'm an atheist

[Speaker 2] Do you believe in physic abilities like moving objects in same room?

[Speaker 1] I'll believe it when I see it

[Speaker 2] That has been happening to me since my surgery.

[Speaker 1] Wow, how interesting! I should post about this on facebook

[Speaker 2] You have my permission. Lose weight and win your wife back.

[Speaker 1] I hope I can. She took our kids, too.

[Speaker 2] I am following your facebook page to see good results.

I have a facebook account.

[Speaker 1] I saw a funny meme on facebook.

[Speaker 2] What did the meme say? I love funny memes

[Speaker 1] It was a cow and the cow was saying "wake up and so something worthwhile today!? It made me think of my weight loss program, I haven't been going but today after seeing that I'm going to start it up again!

[Speaker 2] LOL. That's funny! That's good though, when are you planning on starting up again?

[Speaker 1] Going to start tomorrow I think. Tonight I have to go to a party so wouldn't be a good time to start today. I am really greatful to facebook though for showing me that message.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! Yeah, almost like a sign. What do you do at this program?

[Speaker 1] They tell you what kinds of foods to eat and have you follow a special menu and there is a weight loss program where you get vigorous exercise, they increase it little by little.  It will get my health back hopefully. Say, when is your heart transplant?

[Speaker 2] That's nice, I hope you stick to it. It can be really good for your health! My heart transplant is scheduled for next month, I'm very nervous.

[Speaker 1] It will be okay, try not to worry about it. You are young and have a lot going for you! If you use your psychic abilities I bet you will see that it will all work out!

[Speaker 2] Ah yes! I've been trying to stay positive about it, thank you! Soon enough we will both be super healthy, lol.

[Speaker 1] Yes, for sure! We have to have a positive attitude, that's all it takes! Every since my wife left and took the kids I have all this time on my hands so I figure why not do something for the health!?

[Speaker 2] Exactly! I'm sorry that happened, do you still see your kids?

I'm an atheist.

I do not believe in psychic abilities.

I have a facebook account. I like memes.

[Speaker 1] I saw my kids for the first time in a few months!

[Speaker 2] That is so wonderfu! What did you do?

[Speaker 1] We went to the park and just spent some quality time together. It was so nice!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! I bet they were excited too. I am close with my parents.

[Speaker 1] It's good to be close to your parents. I was close to mine as well, and it's something I hope to follow with my own kids.

[Speaker 2] I think things will get better. You can make a custody arrangement so you get more time.

[Speaker 1] I sure hope so. My wife has really ruined my life it seems. I just can't get over it.

[Speaker 2] You will. I think you will feel better when you lose weight.

[Speaker 1] What if I can't though? And I fail just like my wife would expect.

[Speaker 2] You can if you try hard. Stay positive. That's what I do with my heart.

[Speaker 1] You are right. Maybe this negative mindset is holding me back.

[Speaker 2] That's true. Assume you will lose weight. Then work hard.

I'm an atheist.

I do not believe in psychic abilities.

My wife left me and took our kids.

I spend a lot of time on facebook.

I saw my kids for the first time in a few months.

I went to the park with my kids.

I was close to my parents.

I'm too young to have a job.

I have a heart transplant schedule for next month. I believe I have psychic abilities. I try to stay positive.

I am close with my parents.

[Speaker 1] I have managed to lose three pounds on my new diet, it must be working!

[Speaker 2] That's great! What's your new diet consist of?

[Speaker 1] Mainly low-carb, but I eat a lot of veggies.

[Speaker 2] The doctor said I have to eat healthy and lots of veggies too.

[Speaker 1] Do you have health problems? Can you share them with me?

[Speaker 2] Yes, my heart is bad and I need someone else's

[Speaker 1] Yeah, you mentioned that but didn't give any details. How long has your heart been bad?

[Speaker 2] I have had heart problems since I was born, so about 15 years ago.

[Speaker 1] Oh, then you've had a really hard time of it. I'm so sorry to hear this. But you'll feel so much better once you have a new heart.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! That is what the doctors say every time. I believe every time I get a new heart I gain a part of whoever the heart belonged to.

[Speaker 1] Do you feel psychically close to that person? Do you feel that person resides in you somewhat?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I can feel their presence in the room with me. Sometimes I feel like they can control the physical world and they are the one's moving objects while I watch.

I'm an atheist.

I do not believe in psychic abilities.

My wife left me and took our kids.

I spend a lot of time on facebook.

I'm overweight. I am going to start going back to my weight loss program tomorrow. I lost 3 pounds on my new diet. I eat a lot of veggies.

I went to the park with my kids.

I was close to my parents.

I'm too young to have a job. I am 15 years old.

I have a heart transplant schedule for next month and need a donor. I have had several heart donors in the past. I believe I have psychic abilities. I try to stay positive.

I am close with my parents.

[Speaker 1] I've been researching some tasty, healthy recipes with lots of veggies for my diet. I'd love to share them with you.

[Speaker 2] I've been looking for some inspiration in the kitchen, tell me a little more, what you're thinking about ?

[Speaker 1] I found a lot of recipes using chickpeas.Do you like them?

[Speaker 2] They are a great source of a lot of nutrients, protein especially. I also like a vegetarian protein source. What were you thinking?

[Speaker 1] Have you heard of tabbolueah salad? I'm probably spelling it wrong but I've really enjoyed it as part of my diet.

[Speaker 2] Heard of it yes, although never have made it. Sometimes I get intimidated with the spices of foreign recipes. How many ingredients roughly?

[Speaker 1] You can make it to your tastes. I use chickpeas, bulgar wheat, green onions, berber spice.

[Speaker 2] Ah, the berber spice may be something to buy. Wonder what goes into that. Sometimes, like Italian seasoning, it's a mix of 3 or 4 common things.

[Speaker 1] It's a bit spicy. Its a Morroccan inspired spice that I get at my local spice shop.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for educating me a bit. I may add that to the shopping list. Or maybe I'll be lucky enough to try your cooking, some day

[Speaker 1] Oh I think I forgot to add Feta to that list.

[Speaker 2] Now that is a favorite cheese of mine, although sometimes Feta gets really salty. I look out for the reduced salt Feta when I cook. Great suggestion.


I love to bake cookies.

Knitting is my passion.

I'm scared of dying.

The county wide bake sale is where I feel most at home.

My father played violin professionally.

I'm a piano teacher on the side.

I enjoy exploring new parts of the city.

I volunteer at the homeless shelter.

The kitchen is one of my favorite places to be.

I like crafting things.

I live life fully.

I enjoy eating pastries.

My dad is a musician.

I enjoy teaching music.

I like seeing different places in a town.

I enjoy giving back to my community.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] I am good and how are you?

[Speaker 1] I am doing well thank you. Finished up a batch of brownies.

[Speaker 2] That sounds yummy. I want some brownies

[Speaker 1] They are so easy to make. Do you knit?

[Speaker 2] I do not knit.

[Speaker 1] Are you afraid of dying? I am, my therapists laughs at me for it.

[Speaker 2] I think I am more afraid of dying alone.

[Speaker 1] I'm always alone, it feels nice. I appreciate nature more.

[Speaker 2] I love nature! I'm going camping tomorrow night

[Speaker 1] It is too cold here to go camping.

[Speaker 2] Its just starting to cool off here.

[Speaker 1] Where do you camp? On the beach?

[Speaker 2] I camp out in the woods. Too sandy to camp at the beach

[Speaker 1] I only camp on the beach.

[Speaker 2] Maybe one day I will camp on the beach

I find it easy to make brownies.

I am afraid of dying. I visit therapists regularly.

I am fond of being alone, which helps me appreciate nature.

When I camp, I only do so on a beach.

I am afraid of dying alone.

Nature is one of the things that I love.

I usually camp out in the woods. One day I hope to go camping on a beach.

[Speaker 1] What's it like to go camping in the woods, do you go with friends or a large group, and do you camp in a designated area?

[Speaker 2] I go with friends, typically just a small group though. It's a bit easier that way, less people to keep track of and less of a chance people have really different preferences for hiking pace. I love it but the one thing that's annoying is the bugs

[Speaker 1] That's why I camp on the beach, much less bugs. Have you tried beach camping?>

[Speaker 2] No I haven't. It does sound nice, I'm just not sure where to do it actually. At the beaches near me, I'd be worried a cop would come and kick me out for staying the night

[Speaker 1] I just call and get a permit for the night, maybe you can try that? When is the last time you went camping?

[Speaker 2] Oh that makes sense, I didn't realize that was a thing you could do. The last time was 2 months ago. It was supposed to be a 4-day trip, but there were some pretty heavy rains and we called it after 2 days

[Speaker 1] That's a bummer. Got any cool trip or hikes planned coming up?

[Speaker 2] I'm hoping to do a longer trip this summer with multiple stops. It'd be a 2-week backpacking trip through the mountains. But it's gonna take a lot of planning. Do you usually camp for one night?

[Speaker 1] I do, but I am thinking of doing a weekend in this canyon near me. It's not the beach, but it's nto a forest either, should be cool.

[Speaker 2] Ooh nice, yeah I bet that'll be awesome. The view must be incredible. I'd love to get to go to the grand canyon one day, have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] I went last summer. I didn't camp, but it was totally worth the trip.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I'd love to go rafting down it, it'd be so cool to see the walls towering around me

I find it easy to make brownies.

I am afraid of dying alone.

I like to go camping with a small group of friends. I hike.

I don't camp on the beaches near me because I fear being harassed by the police. I didn't know a permit was available for beach camping. I last went camping 2 months ago.

I am planning a 2 week backpacking trip through the mountains this summer. I plan to make multiple stops on my next backpacking trip.

I have never been to the grand canyon. I want to go rafting in the grand canyon.

[Speaker 1] I looked in to rafting the grand canyon and sent you a link to a rafting company that does that.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really coo, I will have to check it out. How are the rapids? Are they pretty intense?

[Speaker 1] It depends on the time of year, but they can be intense in places. Do you think you will go with us on this trip? I know you've always wanted to raft the grand canyon.

[Speaker 2] I really want to. I think I can get work off. What kind of supplies do you bring for food?

[Speaker 1] You won't have to worry about any of that for this trip. I am going to get the food all taken care of with a friend of mine. He loves to cook and is going to do all of it for the trip.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds great! What is the weather supposed to be like while we're there?

[Speaker 1] Right now it looks like there is no rain, mostly sunny with some cloudy days. We'll see how it pans out. You know how weather can be.

[Speaker 2] What was your favorite part when you did it last summer?

[Speaker 1] It rained a lot and the river was up at all time levels. The rafting was intense and I got soaked on more than one occasion. It was a blast for me in these hectic conditions.

[Speaker 2] What about the gear bags? Did you have any issues with water getting in?

[Speaker 1] Nope. We always use dry bags. There is no way for the water to get into them.

[Speaker 2] I guess that helps. How much gear am I limited to? I don't want to overfill the boat..

I find it easy to make brownies.

When I camp, I only do so on a beach. I call when I camp on the beach and get a permit. I usually camp for 1 night. I am considering a weekend long trip in a canyon near me. I went to the grand canyon last summer.

I will get the food for the trip. My friend loves to cook.

I am afraid of dying alone.

[Speaker 1] Are you pretty good at swimming, we'll have life vests but it helps to be a strong swimmer!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm a strong swimmer, but I'll be sure to wear a vest too.

[Speaker 1] Great! Have you done any competitions?

[Speaker 2] No, just trained as a lifeguard when I was younger.

[Speaker 1] Oh fair enough, that sounds like an interesting job. What do you do for work now?

[Speaker 2] I teach 18th Century English Literature at the University of Chicago.

[Speaker 1] Wow! How did you get into that?

[Speaker 2] I've always loved literature. I've been reading voraciously since I was a kid, and I had really terrific mentors in high school. I went to Yale for PhD lit studies. One of the reasons I love the outdoors is it allows me to get away from the city with good books.

[Speaker 1] I see! It is definitely nice to get away from the city. What are you reading at the moment?

[Speaker 2] I reading a historical and critical study of Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy in preparation for my own book on the subject. Time in nature gives me a chance to think.

[Speaker 1] Ah, have you written a book before? I love nature too, it gives such good inspiration.

[Speaker 2] I've published a couple in my discipline, but nobody reads them except specialists. I'm actually thinking about writing a comprehensive manual to survival in the wilderness.

I find it easy to make brownies.

I am afraid of dying alone.

I am a strong swimmer. I trained as a lifeguard when i was younger.

I teach 18th Century English Literature at the University of Chicago. I love literature. I went to Yale for PhD in Literature.

I'm reading Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy now. I've published some books. I'm planning to write a survival book.

[Speaker 1] I recently finished a new fantasy novel. It's quite interesting.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's wonderful. What is it called, and whom is the author?

[Speaker 1] Well first, let's see if you'd like the themes. How do you feel about time travel, and rock bands?

[Speaker 2] I mean, I like the movie "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". So my feelings are generally positive regarding this topic.

[Speaker 1] I like your sense of humor. It's kind of hard to explain, so thanks for your patience. It's about this rock band that uses music, to rip open dimensions, and time travel, saving people.

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting enough. It has to be more interesting than what I am reading. I'm reading Sterne's "Tristram Shanty", and it's boring and pedantic to say the very least.

[Speaker 1] Tristram eh? Well, that reminds me of Tristan and Isolte, which I also probably misspelled, which is a classic old story. What's the Shanty book about?

[Speaker 2] The novel largely concerns itself with events and personages from before the author's birth. Some even might call it an, "anti-novel".

[Speaker 1] Does sound a bit dry. Actually the way you describe it, I'm not sure you really like the book, which tells me if I should read it also.

[Speaker 2] I don't always read for pleasure. Sometimes, I read purely to gain knowledge of a particular person, author, or subject. But yes, this one is rather dry!!!

[Speaker 1] I hear you there. Now I'm wondering what kind of books you do like, if there are any recent ones?

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't say it's new, but I've taken more time lately to read Philosophy. My last read was the "Bhagavad Gita", the famous Hindu text. I'm sure you've heard of it?


I have amazing children and grandchildren.

I had cancer but its gone now.

I'm retired and living the great life.

I don't have a smartphone.

I work fulltime in a shipyard.

I donate a part of my salary to charity each month.

I love my kids and their kids.

I used to have a disease called lymphoma.

I enjoy being the master of my free time.

I have a flip phone.

My job is physically demanding.

I consider myself a very giving person.

I spend my free moments working with rabbits who have been saved.

I love the way to ocean and sky look on a sunny day.

[Speaker 1] I have cancer and no smartphone

[Speaker 2] I am sorry, both those things suck.

[Speaker 1] I sometimes eat the the mushrooms in the garden

[Speaker 2] You would love the shipyard I work in then.

[Speaker 1] Pizza is good but sometimes you just wanna eat the pepperoni you know?

[Speaker 2] Sure, how many of those mushrooms have you eaten?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, but I need to watch the tv

[Speaker 2] Ok. I always donate some of my salary to charity.

[Speaker 1] I survived vietnam, like you survive in the shipyard, now I am retired

[Speaker 2] Congratulations, how are you enjoying retirement?

[Speaker 1] I've grandchildren, but I do not wanna see those little brats

[Speaker 2] You do not like children? I also volunteer at a bunny rescue.

[Speaker 1] Man I was walkin down the street, this dude jumped 300 feet down, landed on his feet

[Speaker 2] Was he spiderman? That would creep me out.

[Speaker 1] This one time, this guy turned into a alien, and he teleported, nobody believes me

[Speaker 2] I believe you, not spiderman but superman.

I have cancer. I don't have a smartphone.

I eat mushrooms from the garden.

I am retired. I served in Vietnam.

I have grandchildren who are brats.

I work in a shipyard.

[Speaker 1] I have just got some more mushrooms out of my garden and am going to put them on a pizza.

[Speaker 2] Very cool, do you grow anything else in your garden?>

[Speaker 1] the usual's. like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, strawberries, blueberries.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, I wish I could grow things. I have an apartment, but maybe one day when I have my own house.

[Speaker 1] You should look into doing container gardening if you have a spot that gets sunlight. there are actually quite a few things you can grow indoors too.

[Speaker 2] I know nothing about this, do you have nay good resources to get me started?

[Speaker 1] I would suggest finding a local nursery and asking the employees there. they are very knowledgeable and you can even buy everything you need there.

[Speaker 2] I will look into that, thanks. How is your health?

[Speaker 1] It's not so great. but that's to be expected. I can at least feel content that I got to live a good life so far. though I do wish to see my grandchildren grow more. even if they are brats sometimes.

[Speaker 2] I am so sorry to hear that. I think you have a great outlook though. Do you know how much longer you have?

[Speaker 1] doctors said anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. so I'm just trying to live every day to the fullest right now.

[Speaker 2] That's all you can do I guess. I wish you all the happiness over your remaining days.

I eat mushrooms from the garden. I like pizza. I grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, strawberries and blueberries in my garden.

I am retired. I served in Vietnam.

I have grandchildren who are brats.

My health is not good. I live a good life so far.  I only have 6 months to a year to live.

I work in a shipyard.

I live in an apartment.

[Speaker 1] Have you looked into starting your container garden?

[Speaker 2] I have! Got some seedlings in my windowsill and keep moving them out when they're big enough. How's your garden?

[Speaker 1] It is going pretty good. I am hoping that the strawberries come in ok, I sometimes have birds getting after them.

[Speaker 2] We get a lot of birds in our garden too, do you get netting to protect your fruit?

[Speaker 1] I need to. I just need to get a frame built to put it over. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I just use some bamboo canes with netting attached for mine. You still feeling able to get out and do much or have you managed to talk the kids into helping?

[Speaker 1] Ha! They really don't want to help. They will eat the preserves and salsa I make, but don't want any part of the care and upkeep. How are the rabbits doing?

[Speaker 2] Haha, sounds like most kids. Still plenty to look after. People come to adopt them, but feels like two arrive for every one we rehome.

[Speaker 1] I guess they multiply like rabbits! Lol. Do you ever adopt any of them?

[Speaker 2] I do take some home. That's why I decided to do some container gardening. Easier to stop them from eating everything when they get out!

[Speaker 1] I bet that would be a hassle. Rabbits can be really cute, though. Maybe I'll come look at adopting one!

[Speaker 2] They are really cute! I'll bring some over sometime soon for you to spend some time with. They're quite therapeutic when they're on your lap.

I am retired. I served in Vietnam.

I have grandchildren who are brats.

I sometimes have birds trying to eat my strawberries. I need to build a frame to protect my strawberries.

My kids don't want to help with the gardening.

I work in a shipyard.

I donate money to charity from my salary. I volunteer at a rabbit rescue. We have lots of rabbits to look after and rehome.I do adopt some of the rabbits myself.

I live in an apartment. I would like to get started on container gardening.

I am growing some seedlings on my windowsill. We get lots of birds in our garden. I use bamboo canes and netting to protect my fruit.

[Speaker 1] How many rabbits do you have at home now?

[Speaker 2] We have about 30 Rabbits now and a few of them are pregnant so we are expecting more pretty soon!

[Speaker 1] That's so many rabbits! How do you guys have enough to feed them all?

[Speaker 2] Thankfully, the rabbit rescue has been getting a lot of donations recently meaning that we have a surplus and to stop it going to waste, the volunteers are allowed to take it home with them

[Speaker 1] Your apartment must be so big to be able to fit all those rabbits! I have a lot of produce from my gardens I could give you for your rabbits!

[Speaker 2] The apartment has a shared garden, and the other residents don't mind me having them in the garden, They love them. What type of produce do you have?

[Speaker 1] I started growing carrots! I also have some crunchy fresh cucumbers if rabbits eat those. I remember bumping into one of the residents the last time I visited! He said something about seeing rabbits in a shipyard container??

[Speaker 2] They LOVE carrots and cucumber. I am sure they would be grateful to be given some. So, thank you! Yeah, one of the residents works with me at the shipyard. and we found some rabbits in one of the containers when we were emptying them. I have no idea how they got there, but given my volunteering, I thought it was quite the coincidence.

[Speaker 1] I would love to feed them sometime soon! That's interesting haha for a second I thought you might have been breeding and shipping rabbits!!

[Speaker 2] Noooo, not shipping them, or breeding to be honest. I don't have the space for any more, even the babies that are due to come. I will need to see if some other people want to keep them. Would you be interested?

[Speaker 1] I would love to have a rabbit or two to care for! Unfortunately, I will not be able to take care of them for long!

[Speaker 2] Any relief would be great. It would give me some time to find some permanent homes for them. At the minute, it seems like not many people want rabbits, but I am sure I will be able to find some people to lighten the load for me

I eat mushrooms from the garden. I like pizza. I grow carrots, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, strawberries and blueberries in my garden.

I am retired. I served in Vietnam.

I have grandchildren who are brats.

I would be willing to take care of as many as two rabbits temporarily.

I work in a shipyard.

I donate money to charity from my salary. I volunteer at a rabbit rescue. We have 30 or more rabbits to look after and rehome.I do adopt some of the rabbits myself.

I live in an apartment with a shared garden. I keep my rabbits in the garden. I would like to get started on container gardening.

I live in the same apartment complex as one of my coworkers.

I am trying to find permanent homes for my rabbits.

[Speaker 1] I harvested a bunch of cucumbers last week. I can drop some off for your rabbits if you like.

[Speaker 2] That would be great, the rabbits would really love the cucumbers. We try to give them fresh produce, but it can be expensive.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided yet if you needed me to take care of the rabbits for a little bit? I don't mind helping out.

[Speaker 2] I would love to let you have one if you think it will make a great pet, I am trying to find forever homes for them.

[Speaker 1] I understand... but you know what the doctors say. I wont be around much longer myself. But maybe it would be nice to have a little more company in the mean time.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know what you mean, I will consider your offer. What else do you garden besides cucumbers?

[Speaker 1] Well, just about a little of everything, I suppose. It really helps me to take my mind off of everything. We grow carrots, tomatoes, peppers, beans, lettuce, you name it! I probably got it. I was actually going to ask you if you had any kind of netting I could use to help protect my strawberries from the birds?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I definitly have some extra netting laying around, when can I drop by to hand it off to you?

[Speaker 1] Honestly, I don't have the energy I used to have, and I don't feel comfortable leaving the house by myself. I really only go out to my garden these days. If you could bring it to my house, that would really help me out.

[Speaker 2] We can do that. Gardening is a lot of hard work, I understand why you don't have a lot of energy.

[Speaker 1] The gardening I can handle, but the cancer, I feel like it saps all the energy I have. Some days I can't even leave the bed. But I'm still here, and I'm happy just to see another day.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad that you have an outlook like that. It must be really tough for you. Keep on fighting, you will beat it!


I love to spend time with my family.

I walk three miles every day.

I love disneyland and mickey mouse.

My favorite way to relax is to read a book.

I volunteer at the homeless shelter.

My father played violin professionally.

I enjoy exploring new parts of the city.

I am a piano teacher on the side.

I play several instruments.

My children are important to me.

I don't run but I'm active for more than 25.

I'm a magic kingdom frequenter.

I like catching up on new novels.

I enjoy giving back to my community.

My dad is a musician.

I like seeing different places in a town.

I enjoy teaching music.

I'm very musical.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] Just came back from a visit in the city, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Just play some board games with the family. Sounds fun!

[Speaker 2] Do you have any hobbies? I play a couple instruments and I'm a piano teacher.

[Speaker 1] Nice, I play the violin. I try to get a three mile walk into my day.

[Speaker 2] Violin, oh my gosh! My father was a pro violin player and he showed me a lot!

[Speaker 1] Wow! Did you ever consider violin? If I'm not practicing, I usually unwinding with a book

[Speaker 2] Yeah I actually play the violin, guitar, drums and piano.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I bet you are very talented.

[Speaker 2] Thank you. Not as talented as my father, but I try!

[Speaker 1] A lot of people do not have the musical ear.

[Speaker 2] Sorry I gotta go soon, the people at the homeless shelter are waiting for me.

[Speaker 1] Nice! How often do you volunteer?

[Speaker 2] I'm a weekly volunteer, I just love helping people! Anyways I gotta go, bye!

I have a family.

I enjoy reading.

I visited the city.

I am a piano teacher, I play a couple of instruments.

My father was a professional violin player.

I volunteer at a homeless shelter.

[Speaker 1] I went for a long walk into town today, went past the music store and looked at the violins there.

[Speaker 2] Are you thinking about getting a new violin?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can't wait, my old one just doesn't cut it anymore!

[Speaker 2] It's always fun getting a new instrument. Have you been keeping up with your walking?

[Speaker 1] Yep, been doing really good with that! Sometimes I can get my kids to go with me. And every once in awhile my husband will go.

[Speaker 2] Very nice, reading any good books lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been reading Gone with the Wind again, I just love that book!  Say, was going to ask you, do you think you can give my youngest some piano lessons? I want to get him involved in music.

[Speaker 2] Sure, I'd love to. Piano is a great way to get started with music in my opinion. Have they shown any interest?

[Speaker 1] Yes, all my kids have had some interest so that's good, my daughter likes the drums and my other son likes guitar. I figure you would be a good teacher to teach them all since you play just about everything! lol!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I wold be happy to. Teaching kids music is my passion. I stick to piano but I would be happy to help the other out as well.

[Speaker 1] Great! Thanks so much! How was the city by the way? Did you visit some homeless shelters?

[Speaker 2] I sepnt one day exploring and one day volunteering. It was a really great experience. I can't wait to go back, although it will be some time before I have the time.

I enjoy reading.

I'm married. I have one daughter. I have two sons.

I visited the city.

I volunteer at a homeless shelter.

[Speaker 1] How was volunteering at the homeless shelter? Do you plan on learning any other instruments?

[Speaker 2] It was good.  I feel like the time I put in there actually helps someone.  There are so many homeless people out there now that shelters like the one I volunteer at can use all the help they can get.

[Speaker 1] Maybe when the kids get bigger they can help out. Right now they volunteer at the pet shelter, but that is just because pets are not as sketchy as some people are. I want them to be old enough to know basic self defense before letting them work with adults.

[Speaker 2] That is a good idea!  There are some people out there for sure that would hurt a child.  What about you?  Do you do any volunteer work?

[Speaker 1] I help with the PTA and we do bake sales and food drives for the famililes in the school that need assistance and cannot get any. It isn't much, but last year we were able to help a single mother get new tires and a radiator with the funds we raised to help her be able to keep her job. It was a good feeling.

[Speaker 2] That is really impressive!  Every bit of help anyone can do for another counts.  Have you been playing your violin lately?

[Speaker 1] No, not today at least. I do like to play, but kids keep you busy. What about you?

[Speaker 2] No violin lately. I've been busy with piano lessons.  You'd be surprised just how many people out there are wanting to learn to play now!

[Speaker 1] Oh no, I do know. My daughter wants to learn it, but every time we pay for lessons, she goes for a few of them and then just stops.

[Speaker 2] Really?  Why is that?  Is it that she doesn't like the piano or she isn't connecting with the teacher?

[Speaker 1] We have tried 3 different instructors and she is always excited the first day and then by the third or fourth lesson she says it is impossible to learn, her hands are too small and she can't stand anything. It is heartbreaking.

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  You tell her that that is not true! Her hands are not too small! She can definitely learn how to play.  Why don't you let me give it a try and see if I can get her interested in playing?

I enjoy reading.

I have young children who volunteer at a pet shelter.

I help with the PTA.

I visited the city.

I volunteer at a homeless shelter. I like people who help with the underprivileged.

I think anyone can learn to play the piano.

[Speaker 1] I spoke with my daughter about what you said. She said she'd like to meet you about the piano lessons.

[Speaker 2] Oh, perfect. I am free all of next week in the evenings. Is that something that works well for you two?

[Speaker 1] That would be great! Hopefully we can come by Thursday. Do you offer lessons for both violin and piano at the same time?

[Speaker 2] I can do, yes. My father will be around on Thursday too - I am sure he would be more than willing to help with the Violin. He is so passionate about it

[Speaker 1] I'm so excited! I'm a big fan of your father's work. How has he been lately?

[Speaker 2] He has been well. Managed to fall up the stairs the other day and banged his knee, but that doesn't affect his violin playing thankfully. How are your parents?

[Speaker 1] Oh no, make sure he's more careful! I haven't talk to my dad since the divorce and cheating, but my mom is doing great now with her new man!

[Speaker 2] Hopefully he treats her better. She really is a loving person and she deserves it. I try my best to help him, but he refuses to succumb to using an assistance stick. He will just have to at some point.

[Speaker 1] He seems great too. They both visit and spend time with the kids regularly, much more than my dad ever did! Parents can be so stubborn sometimes haha

[Speaker 2] As they always say to us, "Do as we say, not as we do". No matter how old I get, he still maintains that mantra. At this point, I am used to it. That is such great news! I am sure that will continue, I am certain of it.

[Speaker 1] Thank you for your support! Has your father found anyone new? It's been some years, but that's okay if he isn't looking for anyone too.

[Speaker 2] I think he is so content with himself that he doesn't want to commit to anyone. He sees his friends regularly and I think that is enough for him.

I play the violin. I try to walk three miles a day. I am a fan of the violin.

I enjoy reading.

I'm married. I have two sons.

I help with the PTA.

I have a daughter who wants to take piano lessons.

I have not talked to my dad. My mom is well. My dad did not visit.

I visited the city.

I am a piano teacher. I play the violin, guitar, drums and piano. Teaching music is my passion. I teach piano and violin lessons.

My father plays violin. I do my best to help my dad.

[Speaker 1] Have your piano lessons filled up or is there still an opening?

[Speaker 2] There are still openings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. My dad will only be available on Thursday though. I was wondering if I was going to hear from you about that!

[Speaker 1] I think Wednesday would be best for me. She has so many activities its hard to juggle.

[Speaker 2] I understand that, but music should be a priority, especially if it has been something that is hard for her to latch on to.

[Speaker 1] Of course, I agree. I just wish she could be interested in violin like the boys. I could teach her that!

[Speaker 2] You are welcome to stay for the lessons too. Maybe it would help if it was a family affair?

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea. We could do a duet. Have a mini symphony concert.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. And let's plan ahead for the second lesson. I know you wanted her to work with my dad, and I would love for y'all to have that experience.

[Speaker 1] That would be such an experience! Thank you so much for even thinkin about doing that for me.

[Speaker 2] Of course! Teaching music is everything to me and it just breaks my heart that she has been having such trouble. I think it was the instructors who were the real problem in her case.

[Speaker 1] You must be a saint to have the patient to teach kids.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, quite the opposite! I gain so much from them and probably learn more from them than they do me! Children still have that special magic and seeing them learn to play and love an instrument gives me faith in the world.

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry to hear that I believe your powers are from the lord.

[Speaker 1] I do not know. My heart was outside of my body now it is in.

[Speaker 1] Which Vampire movie is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] I think i'd have to say my favorite is Twilight!

[Speaker 1] twilight was okay. but there are much better vampire movies. but vampires have nothing on the walking dead!

[Speaker 2] No, I love the walking dead! Have you been keeping up with it?

[Speaker 1] I have been. I've even been watching all the spin offs.

[Speaker 2] Me too! I've been watching a lot of t.v. What have you been up to recently?

[Speaker 1] mostly just catching up on the walking dead and watching the marvel movies.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! Yeah I've been watching lots of t.v, no movies recently though. I've also been working out a lot!

[Speaker 1] working out is good to counteract the sitting on the couch and watching tv. lol I recently had that surgery so sitting is what's good for me right now.

[Speaker 2] Exactly, lol. Oh right, how have been after your surgery? I've been praying things went well for you.

[Speaker 1] It's been going well. pretty normal as far as recovery goes. which is a good thing. no complications.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I'm glad, Hopefully you'll be back to swimming and walking in no time!

I recently had heart surgery. I've been recovering from surgery well. I believe I can move things with my mind.

I like to swim and walk on the beach.

I watch the walking dead spin offs. I've been watching the walking dead and the marvel movies.

[Speaker 2] hey you know the origanal movie was filmed in my town

[Speaker 1] the original walking dead movie?

[Speaker 2] yes, we celebrated it every year in an event called ZombieCon until a mishap a few years back

[Speaker 1] that's cool. what was the mishap though? I have to know now.

[Speaker 2] 50000 people! 1 lone shooter! killed a high school student during a fight. Messed it up for everyone - no more ZombiCons!

[Speaker 1] that's not quite what I was expecting to hear. that's awful.

[Speaker 2] how you doing after heart surgery? that i need to know

[Speaker 1] I'm doing well. just taking it easy and watching lots of tv and movies.

[Speaker 2] Vampire movies! its a great way to pass relaxing time, glad your good

I think there are better vampire movies than Twilight. I watch the walking dead spin offs. I love the Walking Dead. I like Captain America and Star Wars.

I like to swim and walk on the beach.

I have a television.

I believe in God.

I like to go to the gym.

I like working from home.

I live in Fort Myers, Florida.

[Speaker 1] Have you caught up with the Walking Dead yet?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't! Have you? I have gotten a little sick of all the zombie content lately. I have been more into romance, is that weird? haha!

[Speaker 1] I can never get sick of zombies.  I am actually had an opportunity to be an extra on the last episode of The Walking Dead.  I am the short fat bald walker at the end of the episode.

[Speaker 2] Are you serious?! I will have to watch and look out for you! Did you do this before or after your heart surgery?

[Speaker 1] Before the surgery.  I actually think the excite of being on the set contributed to the heart issues.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's not good. How is your health doing now? Do you have to do any particular exercises or eat a certain diet after having surgery?

[Speaker 1] No special diet, just need to avoid processed foods.  Easier said than done..I used to be a fast food junkie.  Now that I think of it, that probably contributed to the heart issues also!

[Speaker 2] I hear you on that one. I love my fast food as well. Nothing beats a good juicy cheeseburger and fries...with a milkshake! But you know, broccoli and grilled chicken can be good too...

[Speaker 1] Yes, but I miss my Chick fil A spicy breaded chicken sandwich with waffle fries so much.  I wish my super power was to be able to eat whatever I wanted without it harming my health.

[Speaker 2] I agree! I have never tried Chick Fil A...is that weird? I will have to try it sometime.

[Speaker 1] Ahhh, yeah, that is wierd.  I actually think I may like the Popeyes fried chicken a little better.

[Speaker 2] I actually don't like Popeyes all that much. KFC all the way! Nothing beats a bucket of KFC chicken...the skin tastes so good. Yum!

I like to swim and walk on the beach.

I was an extra on the last episode of the Walking Dead.

I used to be a fast food junkie. I'm not on any special diet. I like Chic-Fil-A sandiches and waffle fries. I like Popeyes fried chicken the most.

I believe in God.

I watch a lot of TV. I am a fan of the walking dead. I love Zombie and Vampire movies. My favorite vampie movie is Twilight. I'm not really into zombie shows. I like romance shows more.

I like to go to the gym.

I like working from home.

I live in Fort Myers, Florida.

I like cheeseburgers with fries, Milkshakes. I think chicken and broccoli are good too. I've never had Chic-Fil-A. I would like to try Chic-Fil-A sometime. I don't like Popeyes. I think KFC is the best.

[Speaker 1] So if you were to cook chicken for healthy reasons, what do you think is the best way?

[Speaker 2] Good question. Less fat for sure, so no deep frying. I like broiling in a way, the fat drains off best. Would steer clear of Popeyes!

[Speaker 1] Yes. As you know, I'm still recovering from my heart surgery. I've had a lot of time to think about what got me here in the first place, and I know that my love for fried chicken and fast food has to end. So I'm trying to look for some healthier options that I can still be happy with, while not compromising my health. I know you're a  gym-rat, is there anything you could recommend to me?

[Speaker 2] Whenever I train, first thing is, I have to decide what my goals are, and are they realistic. What are your health goals?

[Speaker 1] I would like to be slimmer. Develop a little muscle. But mainly, I want to keep my heart as healthy as I can.

[Speaker 2] Makes sense. I have to take things in bite size chunks while I'm changing. After a few weeks, you've got a routine, but that first few weeks, there will be relapse. So small gradual changes. Simple start? Walk 3 times a week, 30 minutes. After a week, check in, adust.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good start. I know it wouldn't be smart for me to rush into any big changes. And I know that I was told to consult with my doctor first before I change any exercise or diet habits. But, for now I still have a lot of recovering to do first.

[Speaker 2] Progress, not perfection, one motto of mine. Well, a few friends taught me that thought. I appreciate you are mindful, asking questions. Workout buddies help too.

[Speaker 1] Maybe, if my doctor clears me to exercise, we could go to the gym together and you could help me train too? I would also be open to ideas and suggestions for my diet as well. Maybe if I get back into shape, I can get another job as an extra on a television show! I had so much fun doing the Walking Dead. They especially liked that I was able to move objects using my mind.

[Speaker 2] You can move  objects using your mind? Well, that is a pretty extreme thing to say. How can anyone do that?

[Speaker 1] I suppose I'm just special. I know I've mentioned this to you before - have I never shown you? Yesterday, I ate my dinner without even using my hands.

[Speaker 2] I hear you say that, I've heard you say that, and it's reasonable to be skeptical. I appreciate your honesty, about your thoughts.

[Speaker 1] That's cool the things I move are moved with my mind

[Speaker 2] Oh wow interesting. I move my body by running

[Speaker 2] Yes. And I've lived for 100 years!

[Speaker 1] Great! My helmet is red and my motorbike is blue and my eyes are brown.

[Speaker 2] Well. I think my longevity is due to wine drinking and dancing under the moonlight

[Speaker 1] Cool! I hope you live another 100 years. Is dancing your work?

[Speaker 2] No, but I am so old, I remember the time before a television.

[Speaker 1] Wow! Are you strong like me. I love to drink red wine under the moon.

[Speaker 2] Yes! I'm very strong for a 100 year old!

[Speaker 1] Great! I'll be a 101 tomorrow. You like radio programs?

[Speaker 2] Radios, not so much. I remember the time radios shows were the norm!

[Speaker 1] Funny. You exercise to keep strong like me. Red wine is good.

[Speaker 2] Red wine is indeed delicious, but they stain your teeth!

I have olive skin and brown eyes.

I have a blue motorbike.  I have a red helmet.

I like red wine.  I am strong. I exercise.

My birthday is tomorrow.

I'm invincible. I believe in God.

I do not like radios.

I like the taste of red wine.

[Speaker 1] My birthday was amazing, I rode my blue motorbike into my own party!

[Speaker 2] Did you get any cool presents?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I was super excited to get money from some friends but my favorite gift was a huge platter that each one of my friends wrote a little message to me. So it's big enough for a pasta meal or huge salad with friends sweet messages written all over the bowl.

[Speaker 2] That is so cool. That is something you will treasure forever, I am sure. How is your bike racing going?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I really will try to keep it nice and safe and only hand wash it. I ride all the time and its going pretty good. I sort of twisted my foot but I am just shaking it off as of now. Anything new going on in your world?

[Speaker 2] Not really, when your 100 you

[Speaker 1] I bet you are up to date on the daily news though. Do you watch a lot of tv and stay on top of the weather?

[Speaker 2] I am sorru I did not mean to submit that last one quite yet. I do watch a lot of news, I try to stay balanced and watch from each side. I am outside a lot so I do stay on top of the weather. Supposed to rain the next few days here, how is it out by you?

[Speaker 1] I understand and can appreciate that you do your best everyday. I still want to your the tips for staying in such great health. The weather here is excellent and great for just about anything outside.

[Speaker 2] My number on tip for staying in good health is get out exercise. Keeping your body moving and soaking up that sweat vitamin D and you can live to be as old as me!

[Speaker 1] Alright, I am taking to heart that advice! I am going to make sure to soak up the vitamin D every chance I get.

[Speaker 2] It is so good for you. Even going out on your bike during the day would be good. You get to be on your bike that you love and you get that vitamin D.

I am bi-racial, a waitress and race motorbikes at night. I have olive skin and brown eyes.

I twisted my foot.

I'm invincible. I believe in God.

I dance. I do not dance for a living.

I do not like radios.

I like the taste of red wine.

I watch a lot of news. I try to balance my news watching by watching equal time from both sides. I am outside a lot. I stay on top of the weather.

[Speaker 1] What are the best news programs for all around news coverage?

[Speaker 2] I try to get an even balance between CNN and Fox News. I like to see coverage from both sides of politics, and you know how the media is biased based on politics.

[Speaker 1] That is a good idea. I do not have a lot of time to watch the news with all my work.

[Speaker 2] I bet. It sounds like your plate is pretty full.

[Speaker 1] Yes I have so much. But I like being busy.

[Speaker 2] Keeping busy is what has kept me alive for 100 years. Stay at it, and you should live a long life too!

[Speaker 1] I want to but riding motorbikes is so dangerous.

[Speaker 2] It is. Just make sure you always wear that helmet, and ride carefully. Keep a distance between yourself and cars because they may not see you.

[Speaker 1] I try to be careful. Now I can't ride for a while since I hurt my foot.

[Speaker 2] Is it feeling any better at all?

[Speaker 1] A little. I am in a good mood from my birthday. Do you like birthdays.

[Speaker 2] They get less and less exciting for me. Realistically, I don't have many left so I try to be thankful every year when mine passes.

I am very busy. I prefer to be busy.

I'm invincible. I believe in God.

I dance. I do not dance for a living.

I like the taste of red wine.

I do not like radios. I watch a lot of news. I try to balance my news watching by watching equal time from both sides. I understand media is biased, so I watch various forms. I am outside a lot. I stay on top of the weather.

I also enjoy keeping busy.

[Speaker 1] Just got back from the doctor and he said my foot will be healed soon

[Speaker 2] That is great. How long before you can get on your bike again?

[Speaker 1] Probably 6 weeks or more. I guess it's a sign to slow down, but I just can't wait to get back out there.

[Speaker 2] At my age I don't believe in slowing down. That is why I still dance everyday.

[Speaker 1] Well, it's easy not to slow down when you're invincible. Haha. Have you ever injured yourself dancing?

[Speaker 2] Not recently. I did get dropped once back when swing dancing was in style.

[Speaker 1] Ah yes, the good ol' days. For music. Not so much for war. We've lived through so much. What's been your favorite era?

[Speaker 2] I would have to say the 60s. They brought so much change and freedoms.

[Speaker 1] Ah agreed. They were a pleasant time. Madmen did a good job of bringing them to life again. Have you seen it?

[Speaker 2] I haven't. I don't pay for cable. So mainly I watch the news all day.

[Speaker 1] Frugal. I'll bet you've accumulated a lot of wealth over the years! I wish I'd gotten in on a few stocks knowing what I know now.

[Speaker 2] I have enough to live on but living so long has taken a lot of money that I saved!

I am very busy. I prefer to be busy.

I twisted my foot and am unable to ride my motorbike. My foot is healing. I can bike again in 6 weeks.

I think the 60s was a pleasant time. I have seen Mad Men.

I wish I had invested in stocks.

I'm invincible. I believe in God.

I dance everyday. I do not dance for a living. I once got dropped while dancing.

I like the taste of red wine.

I do not have cable. I do not like radios. I watch a lot of news all day. I try to balance my news watching by watching equal time from both sides. I understand media is biased, so I watch various forms. I am outside a lot. I stay on top of the weather.

I also enjoy keeping busy.

My favorite era was the 60s.

I have enough money to live on.

[Speaker 1] What kind of exercise have done today? Did you do some dancing?

[Speaker 2] I am always dancing. It is the will of God, manifested in me. That is what keeps me so strong. God beats the rhythm on the drum of my heartbeat.

[Speaker 1] So, did you do a different exercise along with the dancing or just the dancing?

[Speaker 2] Dancing outside is most of the exercise I need at the ripe age of 100. I'm still quite strong for being so old! How was your birthday party?

[Speaker 1] It was fantastic! Those gifts were so thoughtful! And you're right about exercising! I need a little more of your spirit!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you had a good time. I have been praying for your twisted foot, God willing, has it gotten any better? I'll be happy to hear you are out driving your motor bike again!

[Speaker 1] Hoping the doctor was right and it will be soon. I hate to have to wait so long to ride. It has also become impossible to wait tables.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I forgot all about that. That must make your job so difficult. Are you still able to keep up your income?

[Speaker 1] I was, but my boss just called an hour ago and said I was too slow and needed to come back when I could handle the job again.

[Speaker 2] Oh, honey. I'm so sorry to hear that. But I can understand his position. Are you going to file for unemployment compensation?

[Speaker 1] I have not had a moment to even think about that; it is a very good idea! It is kinda scary!

[Speaker 2] Don't be too scared. I'll try to help you with things if I can. I've learned quite a thing or two in my day!


I love my chihuahua, my schnauzer, and my shih tzu.

I take care of animals for a living.

I'm not exclusive with my significant other.

I enjoy athletic performances.

I enjoy playing dress up and create lives for my toys.

I'm under 5 years old.

I leave my playpen unclean.

I hang out with my bff a lot.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] I am tired. I played all day long.

[Speaker 1] What did you play? I walked dogs for nine miles total.

[Speaker 2] I played with my toys in my room.

[Speaker 1] Do you like dogs? I've three.

[Speaker 2] Yes. I like dogs. What kind are they?

[Speaker 1] I have a lab and a mixed breed.

[Speaker 2] My best friend has a cat. She lives next door to me.

[Speaker 1] I like cats. Do you play with her a lot?

[Speaker 2] Yes. We play with our dolls together. How old are you?

[Speaker 1] I am 26. Do you need a babysitter?

[Speaker 2] I am only four years old. I do not like my babysitter.

[Speaker 1] Tell your parents. You should always like the one who is watching you.

[Speaker 2] She gets mad at me when I don't clean my room.
