What’s for Dinner? 
 
Mother: I wonder 
what we should have for dinner this evening? 
 
Mona: Are you asking me? 
 
Mother: Yes, I am. I really don’t feel 
much like cooking, but the family must eat. 
 
Mona: Well, you know me. I can always eat
pizza—or spaghetti. 
 
Mother: So I’ve noticed. You’re
putting on a little weight, aren’t you? 
 
Mona: I know. Don’t 
remind me! I’m starting a new diet day after tomorrow. 
 
Mother: It’s about 
time! |
