She's my little niece. It's her birthday. They're singing 'Happy Birthday'.
Oh, I see. how old is she?
She's ten.
I suppose they're playing games.
Oh, yes. Ellie was playing games all day yesterday. By the way, Alice, when's your birthday?
Today.
Today?
Yes.
Well, imagine that! How old are you?
Eighteen. Some friends are having a birthday party for me tonight. Do you want to come?
Very much. What time?
About 6.
I'll be at your house at about five thirty. Happy birthday.
