Daughter: Yes, great. Aren't they?

Mother: What are they called?

Daughter: Don't know. It's not my CD. It's my friend Angela's.

Mother: Well they are not my cup of tea. Bands are so much noisier than they used to be.

Daughter: Not true. I listened to one of your CDs the other day. It was very loud.

Mother: Well, when I was your age, we didn't listen to such loud music.

Daughter: I bet you did.

Mother: We didn't.

Daughter: Really?

Mother: All right, we did. But we didn't play music as loudly as you do these days.

Daughter: Ok. I'll turn it down.

Mother: Thank you. But why are you inside listening to music anyway? It's a beautiful day. When I was young, we used to spend much more time in the open air than you do. Why don't you turn the music off and go for a walk?

Daughter: I don't want to. Anyway, I am waiting for a phone call.

Mother: Who from?

Daughter: Angela. She said she'd call me but she hasn't.

Mother: Why don't you call her?

Daughter: It's her turn to call me.

Mother: Well, why don't you go and see her? She only lives round the corner.

Daughter: Yes! Good idea. She's got some more CDs than me.

Mother: Honestly....
