- Holly, I just heard some terrible news.
- Me, too. I overheard someone say Taylor has a brain tumor.
- What? No, I heard that he has stomach cancer. His ex-girlfriend said it.
- That could explain all his stomachaches. He's trying to hide it from us.
- Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the potluck. Have you seen him?
- No, but someone said he was in the men's room puking. Follow me!

- Oh, George, what a beautiful day it is today! The sun is hot and there are just a few clouds scattered here and there! What a perfect day to be at the beach! The kids are going to have so much fun! And we ' ll be able to relax in the sun while they ' re playing.
- It does seem like the perfect day! I ' m glad we chose to get out of the city and enjoy the nice weather! This looks like the perfect spot! Ok kids, put on your sunscreen while your mom and I set up camp. Here, Mary, help me lay down these beach towels.
- There we go. Can you help me with the umbrella? Perfect.
- Ok kids, here ' sa beach ball and a Frisbee, a pail and a shovel. I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time we leave. Don ' t stray too far. Wait! Leave your sandals here or put on your wet shoes.
- And stay in the shallow area. I don ' t want to see you go any farther than that sandbar! It ' s too deep out there and we didn ' t bring your floatier.
- You ' re back already? The water was too cold, huh? I ' ll tell you a secret. Do you see that small pool of water over there? It ' ll be warmer in there. Go see if you can find some seashells or catch some minnows.
- What is that? A jellyfish? Jeremy, put that down right now! It could sting you!
- Ah! Not on me! Ow!

Jesse was feeling very hungry but didn't like the school cafeteria food, so he left the premises with permission.
- (Jesse) I don't know how people can eat that cafeteria food at school.
- I know. I pack my own lunch.
- I didn't have time this morning and got permission to go out and order something.
- You were lucky. Sometimes they're sticklers about letting students out.
- I have diabetes so they can't play around.
- Oh definitely not. You could have an episode.
