it's so great to be here! I'm so excited to help you and my daughter with your new home!
we're glad that you're here. Would you like a tour of the house?
that'd be great, but could I have a cup of tea first?
sure, I'll just go put the kettle on. Why don't you have a seat on the sofa and I'll go take care of things in the kitchen.
that would be lovely, thanks.
do you take milk or sugar with your tea?
I'll take a little milk, but no sugar, please. Make sure you let the tea steep a few minutes before you take the tea bag out of the cup.
ok. What do you think about our living room?
well, I do like the mantelpiece and the coffee table, but I don't really care for curtains. Did you get them at a yard sale? They look ancient.
my parents gave them to us as a house warming gift.
oh dear. Well, I suppose they will do for now. do you ever dust in here? It seems a bit dusty in here.
your daughter usually does the dusting, and I do the vacuuming.
I see. Well, I can help with the chores while I'm here. You two could probably use my help.
that's very nice of you to offer. Here's your tea. Be careful, it's still quite hot.
