Julia: That's right.

　　Todd: And have you heard of all these terms that we have in the US for different types of parents? I wonder if you have them in the UK?

　　Julia: You mean like soccer mum, stuff like that?

　　Todd: Exactly.

　　Julia: That's the only one I've heard of actually.

　　Todd: OK. So what do you think a soccer mom is? What have you heard?

　　Julia: My image is a mother who dedicates her time to running her kids to and from soccer practice. Is that right?

　　Todd: Right.

　　Julia: And also drives a big vehicle? My image is of a big SUV or a big four wheel drive.

　　Todd: Right. I think it's also, it's like a parent that has many scheduled events for their child.

　　Julia: Oh, OK.

　　Todd: So maybe they have swimming class or soccer practice, ballet and stuff like that.

　　Julia: Oh, maybe I'm a little bit of a soccer mum.

　　Todd: Yeah, I think now, yeah. I think it's actually a good term. It's like, I think a soccer mom usually is considered a caring parent.

　　Julia: OK.

　　Todd: And they try to have their child doing productive things.

　　Julia: It must be pretty, quite an affluent perhaps middle class kind of parent.

　　Todd: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Now we have the equivalent, it's called a Nascar dad.

　　Julia: Is Nascar some kind of car racing?

　　Todd: Yeah, basically it's just the, these cars they run around and ride around in a circle. It's kind of like horse racing for cars, you just go round and round. But, yeah, so I guess it's the same thing. It's just a dad who's really, you know, really into his kids, spends a lot of time with his kids.

　　Julia: Would this be a stay at home dad, like a...?

　　Todd: No, no. It's just kind of like a good old boy father, like a dad who's kind of blue collar, not rich, you know, maybe lower middle class maybe but just kind of like your typical sitcom, TV sitcom dad I guess.

　　Julia: But that's nice. Takes his kids everywhere, that's nice.

　　Todd: Yeah, yeah.

　　Julia: Involved in the...

　　Todd: Yeah, like a Nascar dad would probably take his sons hunting and maybe take his daughter shopping and stuff like that.
