Claudia: Hi, Sandy. How was your thanksgiving?
Sandy: Wonderful. We all went to my parents’ new house.
C:  Is that the one near the freeway that was built last year?
S:  Yes! Anyway, the turkey was all ready when I got there. 
But my favorite part is always the stuffing and the mashed potatoes.
The pumpkin pie was also fantastic, naturally, since it was made by yours [bad word]  We really pigged out.
C:  Who else was there? 
S:  My brother Tony. He and his friends were watching the football game.
C:  Did he finally get his hair cut?
S:  Yes. I was surprised.
C:  Well, I went out to eat with my daughter. My oven wasn’t working.
S:  That’s too bad.
C:  Actually, it was quite nice. At least I didn’t have to do all the cooking.       
S:  Tell me, did you get your oven fixed?
C:  No, not yet. It’ll be repaired next week.
