#Person1#: Hello.
#Person2#: Hello, dad?
#Person1#: Yes... Mary! How are you? Anything wrong?
#Person2#: Oh, no. I just wanted to call and see how you and mom are. It's been quite a while since I saw you last time.
#Person1#: Oh, we're both fine. Your mother is down at the new shopping center shopping.
#Person2#: For a new dress?
#Person1#: No, for shoes this time, I think. How's David?
#Person2#: He's fine. He likes his work and was given a raise last month by Mr. Smith. We are all pretty pleased about that.
#Person1#: Yes, I think you should be. And how are the children?
#Person2#: Well, George's home from school today. It's nothing serious, just a bad cold. And. it's his birthday, too!
#Person1#: Oh, I thought his birthday was May 24th.
#Person2#: No. April 24th.
#Person1#: Well, that's too bad. Tell him we'll send him a present.
#Person2#: All right. Diane's still taking dancing lessons.
#Person1#: She must be pretty good by now. How about Tom?
#Person2#: He's OK, too. He's having a part-time job at a garage now.
#Person1#: Well, it's certainly good to hear your voice.
#Person2#: OK, dad. Nice talking to you and give Morn our love.
#Person1#: All right. Good-bye.
