M: Fine, fine. How are you all over there?

B: Yeah, great. We're havin' a real cool time. We've just been to the Empire State Building today, since John's never been there.

M: Oooh, did you go right up to the top?

B: Yeah - well, we took the elevator. I mean, we didn’t walk all the way up! John loved it ’cos the views are awesome. You can see all of downtown Manhattan from up there!

M: Yes, I bet. You didn’t meet King Kong up there, did you?

B: Nah, but we watched the movie last night, before going there!

M: Oh, right. Well John sent me an email yesterday -he said you’d been to a baseball game?

B: Yeah, we went to see the Yankees, and they won!

B: Hmm, we haven’t been to watch soccer yet. Maybe next week ...

M: So what are you up to tomorrow?

B: Well, Mom and Dad aren’t on vacation yet, so I think me and John will probably just meet some friends and go to the mall.

M: Aha. Well, have fun. Is John there? Let me have a quick word ...
