sarah: John, I’ve just had some good news. Susan has had her baby.
john: Do you know when she had it?
sarah: Yesterday. The tenth of August.
john: Oh, my father was born on August the tenth. Give me the details and I’ll make a note for everyone at work.
sarah: OK.
john: Well, was it a boy or a girl?
sarah: It’s a boy.
john: And what are they going to call him?
sarah: Tom. Tom Lightfoot. It sounds quite good, don’t you think?
john: Yes, that has quite a good ring to it.
sarah: You know he’s quite a big baby. He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he was born.
john: That does sound big, four and a quarter kilos.
sarah: And he’s long too, forty-six centimetres.
john: Mmmm. Tall parents. He’ll grow up to be over two metres, I’d say.
sarah: With masses of black hair, curly black hair. You know, we should go and visit them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at around 1pm?
john: Yes, OK.
sarah: Where should we meet? ... Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house, if you like.
john: Yes, that would be wonderful. My car is still off the road.
sarah: Just refresh my memory. What’s the address again?
john: It’s 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.
sarah: It’s next to the library, isn’t it?
john: Not exactly. It’s next to a bank. The State Bank actually. The library is opposite us, on the corner.
sarah: That’s right, and there’s a garage on the other street corner. I remember now.
john: So, you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one and we’ll be there at one easily.
sarah: Now what should we take? We must take them something.
john: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don’t you?
sarah: Well, not really. Everyone always brings flowers and they don’t last. I think it’s much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her.
john: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of chocolates?
sarah: OK, chocolates sound fine. We should get something for the baby too. What do you think?
john: Yes, you’re right. What do you think of something like baby shampoo or talcum powder?
Sarah: Or we could get a little hat, or something like that.
john: We don’t know the size, or the right colour, do we?
sarah: I think we should get something they wouldn’t normally buy. What about a soft toy of some sort?
john: Yes, a soft toy.
sarah: What about a teddy bear?
John : I could get one early tomorrow at the market and I could probably get the chocolates there too.
sarah: Good.
john: So you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one at my place and I’ll make sure that I’ve got the presents.
sarah: You must remember how much you paid for the gifts, so I can pay you back for half. If they’re going to be from both of us, I would like to go shares.
john: OK. I’d say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice and not too small and the toy would be around $35 or so, I’d think.
sarah: Good, that’ll be fine. About $25 each then. Good, I’ll pick you up then on Sunday at twelve forty-five.
john: OK.
sarah: See you then. Bye.
