Dinner party conversation. Guests include Wilma Randolph (Olympic Gold Medalist runner), my sister, Pam, Charlemagne (King of the Franks), Maria Tamez, my son Jesse, and David Castillo.
Pam: I'm so glad you got everyone together for this meal.
Jesse: Me too. When do we eat?
David: Let's all sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal.
Wilma: I hope there are some low carb items on the menu.
Charlemagne: I insist on sitting at the head of the table.
Maria: I'll sit anywhere.
Pam: It's nice to get away from the kids for a night.
Maria: I think it's wonderful that you have a big family.
Wilma: I come from a huge family. I had 19 brothers and sisters.
Jesse: I would have liked to have some of my cousins here especially since I'm the youngest person at the table.
Charlemagne: Children belong in school and should be seen and not heard.
David: While I understand your reasoning for that comment, I think its important for Jesse to socialize with some older people. He is on the cusp of adulthood.
Wilma: Pam, I understand you were born with cerebal palsy? When I was young, I got sick and my leg twisted inward. I had to work very hard to overcome that.
.
Pam: I know what you mean. I also had to work hard at physical therapy. I think that's why I became a physical therapist.
Charlemagne: I would be interested in learning about what a physical therapist does.
Maria: I think its wonderful that you both were able to overcome such adversity.
Jesse: I might become a physical therapist. How much does it pay?
David: You have to go to college for many years.
Charlemagne: College is a good thing. I have always encouraged my people to learn as much as they can.
Pam: I went to college for about 6 years to get a degree as a physical therapist.
Wilma: You know, training for the Olympics takes a very long time and a lot of committment.
David: If you have the passion for something, you must be willing to work long and hard for it.
Jesse: Maybe I better just concentrate on getting a part-time job and go to community college for my core classes.
Maria: I think that's a good idea.
The evening progresse without any problems and everyone leaves feeling satisfied.
