Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 5
Ted leaves to go visit his girl friend Amber. Ted mother Susan says she doesn’t really like Amber. She wishes him a good time anyway.
Ted: See you later, mom.
Susan: Where are you going, Ted?
Ted: I told Amber I’d drop by.
Susan: What are you two going to do?
Ted: Maybe go to the movies or to a party. Our plans are still up in the air.
Susan: Why don’t you invite her over here?
Ted: I don’t want to hang around here. Dad is really down in the dumps.
Susan: Is Amber the girl with the nose ring and the purple hair?
Ted: Yeah, I am crazy about her.
Susan: Don’t take this the wrong way. But she is not exactly my cup of tea.
Ted: Take it easy, mom. We are not about to get married. We just enjoy
hanging out together.
Susan: I guess there is no accounting for taste. Have a good time.
Ted: Don’t worry. We will have a blast!
Susan: (under her breath) That’s what I’m afraid of!
