"Hi Danny!"
Hi Mom.
"Hey, can I call you back in a little bit? I'm walking into Chico's."
(pause)
If you can't talk, then why did you just call me?
"I'm going into Chico's and I got excited so I didn't realize I can't talk. I'll call you back."
You need to call me back soon, I'm leaving in a little while.
"Where ya goin?"
I'm going to a party.
"You're always going to parties."
Not really...you usually call me on Friday and Saturday nights.
"Well I want to make sure you're going out and having fun!"
I am.
"If you're going to a party, who is going to take care of the puppies?"
They are fine on their own for a few hours. They just sleep.
"But when you come home, do they wake up and think it's time to play?"
They always think it's time to play. But today we ran around a lot so they're tired. Now we're sitting on the couch watching television.
"That sounds like so much fun! I want to sit on the couch and watch television with the puppies."
Yes it's fun. I don't want to get up, I'd rather stay home.
"No, you need to go to your party. Do you have a date?"
No.
"Why not?"
(pause)
Weren't you hanging up? I thought you have to go to Chico's.
"Oh my gosh! You're right. I have to go. They're having a sale."
I'll talk to you later. Happy shopping.
"Call me tomorrow. I want to hear about your party. Love you!"




Your mom is too cool for school. She and Ellen's mom should get together and go bowling!
