Mary, tomorrow is your mom's fiftieth birthday. Do you know?
Of course I do. How shall we celebrate it?
First of all a birthday present. What about buying her a beautiful skirt?
That's a good idea. It would make her look younger. And a big birthday cake too, with fifty candles.
That's right. Shall we have a special dinner?
How about a Chinese dinner?
Fine. Where should we have it?
We can have it at home. I've learned to cook a few dishes from a Chinese friend. I'm sure Mom would like them.
All right. Are you going to do the shopping as well?
Why don't we go together, Dad?
OK. When?
How about this afternoon?
