M:So do I.It’s neither too hot nor too cold.The sky is clear and blue.

W:It’s a good time to have a picnic.Do you want to have one this weekend?

M:I’d love to,but I think it’s going to rain.The weatherman said it will.

W:Dad,will you read to me?

M:Uh,let me finish the newspaper first.

W:You’ve been saying that forever!

M:Well,how about reading the business section of the newspaper together?

W:That’s boring.Let’s read this book.It’s about a bear and a cat that become friends.

M:Okay.

W:And these books too.

M:Whoa.I thought you said one book.There must be ten here.

W:My teacher,Mrs Green,says you have to read to me every night,and the newspaper doesn’t count.And let’s eat some popcorn and cookies while we’re reading.

M:Well,it’s bedtime right now.So,Okay,here we go.Once upon a time in a deep,dark forest,lived a brown bear...

M:So,what do you want to do tomorrow?

W:Well,let’s look at this city guide here.Uh,here’s something interesting.Why don’t we first visit the Art Museum in the morning?

M:Okay.I like that idea.And where do you want to have lunch?

W:How about going to an Indian restaurant?The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum.

M:Now that sounds great.After that,what do you think about visiting the zoo?Well,it says here there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else.

W:Well,to tell the truth,I’m not really interested in going there.Why don’t we go shopping instead?There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up some bargain clothes.

M:Nah,I don’t think that’s a good idea.We only have a few traveler’s checks left.And I only have fifty dollars left in cash.

W:No problem.We can use YOUR credit card to pay.

M:Oh.No.I remember the last time you used MY credit card for YOUR new clothes.

W:Oh well.Let’s take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach.

M:Now that sounds like a wonderful plan.
