Hi, Ruth. This is Steve speaking. How was the football game yesterday?
Great. Why did you miss it? Steve?
My parents didn't let me go because I had a fever. I'm still in bed.
Too bad you weren't there. We all went together-- Jenny, Jimmy, George and I.
It must have been freezing sitting outside, wasn't it?
It was. We were all wrapped up in blankets, wool hats, and heavy coats.
I hear it started snowing in the middle of the game.
It did, lightly at first, then harder. But it didn't stop the game. That was the most exciting moment and it was so funny watching the players slipping in the snow.
