 A:    Valerie! Hi! Wow how are you? It’s been such a
        long time!

 B:     Darlene! Indeed, it’s been a while! How have you
        been? Wow, you look amazing! I love what you’ve
       done with your hair!

 A:     Really? Thanks! I went to that hair salon¹ that you
       told me about, but enough about me! Look at you!
       You haven’t aged² a day since the last time I saw
       you! What is your secret!

 B:     Ha ha, come on!  Well, I’ve been watching what I
       eat, and working out three times a week. By the
       way, I heard your son recently graduated!

 A:    Yes, my little Paul is finally a doctor. They grow up
       so fast you know.
 B:     He is such a handsome guy. He gets his looks
       from his mother of course!

 A:    Thank you! What about your daughter, Pamela? I
        heard she has passed the bar exam and married
        recently.

 B:    Oh yes.  She had a beautiful wedding in Cozumel
        Mexico and we all attended.

 A:    Such a lovely girl. I hope my Paul is lucky enough
       to find a girl like that someday!

 B:     But of course! Well, it’s been great talking to you,
        but I have to get going.

 A:    Same here! We will catch up soon,  maybe over
       coffee!

 B:    That would be great! Give me a call!
 A:    See you soon! Bye! Ugg... I can’t stand that
       woman or her obnoxious³ daughter.
