Kathy: Hi, Molly. Where’s your brother Larry? I thought he was joining us.

Molly: Hi, Kathy. I’m sorry. Larry can’t join us after all. He is working late tonight.

Kathy: Oh, Larry’s working late again?

Molly: Yeah, he is. Kathy: I see…I really don’t think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to work at night. Young people need to sleep.

Molly: Oh, I disagree with you. Teenage boys never get tired.

Kathy: Well, maybe. But Larry shouldn’t work every night.

Molly: That’s true. He needs time to do homework.

Kathy: And you know, Molly…he should really cut his hair.

Molly: Oh, I don’t know. Do you think it’s too long?

Kathy: Yes, I do. It doesn’t look clean. And I think he should stop wearing that silly earring.

Molly: Hmm…I disagree. I kind of like it. It looks cool!

Kathy: You know another thing that worries me? Larry doesn’t seem to have many friends.

Molly: Yeah, I know. I think he shouldn’t work on weekends.

Kathy: That’s right. He needs to spend time with friends.
