Darling, I've been thinking. You know Jane and Robert who just moved in next door have just had a baby girl. I really think we ought to get them some sort of present.
You're right. Have you got anything in mind?
Why don't we get the baby a nice little dress? I was in mother care the other day and they had some lovely ones in there.
A dress? I expect they've received lots of clothes for the baby. What about a toy, something the baby can play with?
Newborn babies don't play with toys, darling. They just sleep, eat and cry. Maybe we should get Jane and Robert something useful for the baby.
Yes, useful and boring.
Boring? Just because something's useful doesn't mean it has to be boring.
Well, I still think a toy would be better. We could get her one of those things you put on the child's bed that plays music and goes around in circles.
Oh, yes. You mean a wind bell. Yes, that's a good idea. Why don't we go and see if we can find this afternoon?
Alright.
