"So how are things with my pookie?"
"Just fine. You know, Dayton hasn't turned out to be so bad this time."
"Oh that's so good to hear."
"I'm kinda surprised. I'm meeting a few people and... I really like my place."
"Well... your little rentals have ended up being a nice pasttime. Is your job still so awful?"
"Oh it's gotten better. It's okay for now."
"Hmmm. What about all your friends in Cincinnati -- don't you miss them?"
"I see them all the time."
"And your friends in Colorado? How's DJ?"
"DJ? He's fine."
"We never saw what you saw in him."
"He makes me laugh, mom. He's very funny."
"We thought he was a dud. Isn't he always getting fired?"
"But he always bounced back and had something lined up. He's good that way."
"Well, at least he wasn't like that other fellow -- the fellow you bought your Focus from."
"Oh. Now, he was a dud."
"I hope you at least got a good deal. Did you ever read the articles I sent you about the recall notices?"
"Yes mom. I never had problems; it not having air conditioning is what did me in."
"Well... it was very zippy looking. But they say you can't go wrong with a Honda."
"Well, you haven't had any problems with yours, now have you?"
"Did you get the ceiling for the Dining Room?"
"Yeah, I picked it up last week."
"I can't imagine a plastic ceiling."
"It's a reproduction pressed tin ceiling, like the kind they had in stores a hundred years ago. You can paint it."
"I know. But in a Dining Room?"
"It has the look of a garden trellice, I think it will look very nice."
"Hummh."
"You and dad should come down and see it. Did you know I'm going to be in the opera again? I'm going to be a soldier."
"Weren't you a soldier last summer?"
"Yeah I'm typecast. I got complementary tickets; you and Dad want to go?"
"We'll check. We're pretty busy the next few months. Your sister is going to be here in a few weeks; you're planning on coming up for that I hope."
"Yes, it will be cool to see her. But isn't she going to be rushing around?"
"Well, will it be so awful to spend some time with your poor old mother?"

This probably wouldn't be good.
