Dialogue

Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve
It's Saturday and Joan and Steve are decorating.
Joan
Steve, you missed a bit.
Steve
Where?
Joan
Here, on the wall just by the window, you can see a patch of white.
Steve
Oh yes, I see it. It's difficult in this light.
Joan
I know, well at least we have finished this room, only five more to go.
Steve
Are you sure you want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?
Joan
Yes, but don't worry, I'm really good at wallpapering. I just wish that John would decide on what he wants his room doing in.
Steve
I know, it's difficult when you're a boy. At least he's grown out of Star Wars, I keep thinking he'll ask for red and black or something equally gruesome.
Joan
Yes, but it is his room. I'm glad we decided not to move though. Maybe we should think about building an extension to the kitchen instead.
Steve
One thing at a time please! Lets get this decorating over and done with first.
Joan
Ha! Oh by the way you missed a bit by the door too!
Steve
Hmm, thanks. Here's a brush.
