Josephine: Hello.
Ray: Hi, Josephine, it’s Ray. We have a
meeting today at 10 a.m. and I was wondering
if you would mind if I brought my kids with
me. Their babysitter didn’t show up.
Josephine: Oh, sure. That’s no problem. Your
children are so well-behaved. Even
at their age, they have impeccable
manners.
Ray: Well, they’re not always little
angels, but they’re not too much of a
handful, thank goodness.
Josephine: You know what they say: Girls
are made of sugar and spice and everything
nice...
Ray: It is probably a little easier with two
girls. I feel sorry for my mother who
raised six boys.
Josephine: Six boys!
Ray: Yeah, and before we were born, my
father thought that children should be
seen but not heard. Was he in for a
rude awakening! We were all very
unruly. Imagine six boys only
one year apart. We got yelled
at a lot for being naughty.
Josephine: But that’s how boys are, aren’t
they? Girls are different. They’re quiet,
sweet, and even-
tempered. What’s that noise?
Ray: That noise is my daughters creating a
ruckus fighting tooth and
nail over a toy. So much for
quiet, sweet, and even-tempered!
