— Hello?
— Matt? It’s Dad.
— Hi, Dad.
— Are you still sleeping?
— Not anymore.
— How come? It’s already noon. Are you sick?
— No, no. I’m fine.
— Is this about another one of your "amazing" girls, or yet another night out?
— Yeah, well… kind of. But it’s a bit more complicated than that.
— I don’t get it. Sounds like just another excuse. Are you already getting into trouble?
— Not yet.
— What does that mean? Are you or aren’t you?
— I don’t know... I'm still figuring stuff out. I'm kind of confused.
— You've only been living on your own for a week and already feel confused? Need I remind you you’re already older than I was when I started my company?
— No, Dad. I know the story. There’s no need to harp on it.
— Your mother’s worried sick. Have you called her yet?
— She called last night.
—Son, tell me you're not still hung up on this girl.
— What girl?
— That freckled one you bumped into at the Metropolitan.
—The shrink?
— Yes, her.
— I think I still love her.
— You still love her? How is it even possible you haven’t forgotten her yet? You were just kids! Listen, son. Get up, take a shower, and hit the street. You need a job. You’re already thirty!
— I'm on it!
— You're on it? You’d better say you’ve been on it for years and haven't found a job yet.
You already have a great grasp on temporal adverbs!
I wish! haha, but I'm learning. Thanks so much for reading!
