 A:     Honey come on! We are going to be late! Hon-
       estly, you take longer getting ready than I do!

 B:     I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt! Can
       you come here for a sec? I need your help.

 A:    What is it? Why are all these clothes on the bed?

 B:     I don’t know what to wear! Ok, give me your opin-
        ion. Do you like the way this looks? The striped
       short sleeved shirt with this checkered¹ sweater
       and my lucky sandals. I like the cut and hemline
       of these shorts so I think I’ll wear these as well.

 A:    Are you joking?  What am I going to do with you?
       We are going to a dinner party not the beach!
       Wear the shirt with the  silk  tie  I  bought you and
       these corduroy pants. It’s  chilly² outside so you
       can wear this coat.
B:     Thanks honey! You have such great fashion
        sense. Now, what am I going to do with my hair?
