person A: It's hard to tell! He refused to leave my side the entire time and just watched the other dogs play.
person B: Poor guy was just nervous_comma_ I'm sure the more you take him the more he will venture away from you and have some fun! |
person A: Im embarrassed to admit I forgot to pick up my brother from worth the other day after agreeing to
person B: Well hopefully he is understanding_comma_ if he is anything like my brother nothing a cold 6 pack won't fix.
person A: Ha ha_comma_ he was a little miffed. He got over it though when I stopped and got him ice cream on the way back though! I felt like such a jerk.

person A: I recently had a shop fix my car. They worked so fast!
person B: That's good_comma_ did you have to wait there or were you able to go home?

person B: Haha that;s rare when it comes to mechanics. |
person A: My husband is going through the process of quitting smoking on top of dealing with drama from his parents. He is having a hard time.
person B: im sorry_comma_ thats awful. its a shame his parents arent being more supportive
person A: They aren't being supportive at all_comma_ but that's not surprising_comma_ that don't support him very well in anything. I just wish I could make it better for him_comma_ but I can't
person B: im sure he appreciates having you around though |
person A: I have some great friends. One of them drove me to the airport tomorrow
person B: That was really nice of them. I bet you're appreciative.

person B: Yikes! That is terrible! What a awful thing to do! I am glad he finally got busted! Wow_comma_ for years_comma_ huh?

person B: You will_comma_ and that is what gives us the strength to face tomorrow! |
person A: I lost my car keys. I'm such a fool!
person B: Happens to everybody. My girlfriend_comma_ who is the smartest person I know_comma_ has had to make 5 duplicates of her car keys because she's locked herself out so much. She's so forgetful because she's so efficient and on top of everything else important_comma_ that sometimes she misses the small things. Maybe that's true in your case_comma_ too!
person A: That's pretty funny_comma_ and makes me feel better. This is the first time I've lost my keys so I hope to keep it that way!
person B: I've heard some people place theirs in a bowl near the front door as soon as they come home_comma_ or they stick it in the fridge with their lunch.. silly things to make sure they can keep it together. |
person A: I came home the other day and my roommate had a friend over. I've only seen him with a friend over once in my 3.5 years of living here.
person B: Wow. That must be a very special friend. I net you were surprised.
person A: Yeah I sure was_comma_ he seems to like this one much better than the last one he had over. He couldn't wait for that first guy to leave.
person B: Oh dear. Maybe he is a loner and doesn't like friends. |
person A: One of my co-worker came and asked me a lot of really weird questions about my supervisor. It seemed suspicious so I pretty much told her I didn't know any of the answers to her questions. I don't think she likes my supervisor.
person B: oh that's just a recipe for disaster 100% of the time.
person A: Yeah I figured it was_comma_ so I just played dumb and let my supervisor know. My supervisor has always been good to me.
person B: mine has too. i think you did the right thing by not getting involved. |
person A: Man there aren't many people I would give my last couple hundred dollars to_comma_ with one notable exception.
person B: Hm_comma_ who might that be?

person B: Thats neat. You must trust him a lot given his track record of making money! |
person A: I finished first in a race. I feel like gold
person B: Oh my goodness! That's amazing! Congratulations! Was it your first gold medal race?
person A: Yes! It was my first victory. All my hard work is paying off
person B: That is awesome! It is for running? |
person A: Some of my friends told me that they had a big surprise for me. They know I hate surprises_comma_ but I complied and let the blindfold me and drive me out to the location.
person B: That sounds exciting and scary. What was the surprise?
person A: They had decided to pool their money together and get me one big present together. It was a flying lesson at the local airport.
person B: That is so awesome. Did you have fun? and more important_comma_ are you a pilot now? |
person A: I found an old photo album at my grandma's house that had pictures of me when I was a kid
person B: That's cool_comma_ did it bring back some good memories?

person A: When I was in middle school_comma_ I had a friend come over to ride horses with me. After riding my mother pressured me to get on a horse bareback I wasn't comfortable riding. She made such a big scene that I got on to make her stop.
person B: Oh no_comma_ did you get hurt?
person A: Yes_comma_ the horse took off running and I got thrown into a metal fence. My mother then proceeded to yell and me and make fun of me for trusting her. She told me that I should never trust anyone not even my own parents_comma_ it was really embarrassing to get yelled at in from my friend. Afterwards my ribs hurt for 2 months.
person B: Yikes_comma_ I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds horrifying! |
person A: My friend really wanted me to go rollerblading with him_comma_ but I haven't been rollerblading since I was a little kid. I didn't want to roll into a car.
person B: So what did you do?
person A: We went_comma_ but it was still pretty terrible because I felt completely uncomfortable and was bent over the whole time ready to catch myself.
person B: Well_comma_ I bet your friend had a good time with you being there. Sometimes we have to make sacrefices for those we care about. |
person A: My husband is on the road a lot_comma_ I hardley ever see him.
person B: I'm sorry. My wife could sympathize with you since I'm gone a lot on business as well.
person A: Yes_comma_ its hard but I try to remember he does it for our family! I have been trying to adapt to enjoying alone time.
person B: I'm sorry you feel lonely. My wife says she ofens feels the same way. I know your husband misses you awfully while he's away. I love having chats with my wife every day when I'm gone. |
person A: I have an interview for a job that I don't feel qualified for

person B: That's a positive at least_comma_ good luck on the move! |
person A: I saw a dog get hit by car today on the highway.
person B: Oh no!!! Did you see what happened to the dog?!
person A: It was pretty tramatic_comma_ I still see the dog getting hit in my head and the sound. No_comma_ I was on my way to work_comma_ I couldn't stop :(
person B: That's so sad! What on earth is a dog doing around a highway?! That just breaks my heart.. |
person A: I can't even begin to tell you how nervous I was about my first tattoo.
person B: I can understand the anxiety. Its a whole new different experience for first timers!
person A: Definitely! I get lightheaded when I see my own blood_comma_ and my pain threshold was low at the time. It turned out great though_comma_ and now I have several!

person A: I love my husband! He has been so sweet this week!
person B: Aww! That is so cute! Has he done something special this week that made him extra sweet?

person A: I got a promotion at work that I wasn't expecting!

person A: Music is a powerful thing. Sometimes it feels like it can transport you to another time and place. You know what I mean?
person B: Yeah exactly! Music is awesome.
person A: Who can deny it? My dad passed away 2 years ago. Sometimes I put on his old records and imagine what it would have been like to hang out with him in the 70s.
person B: Yeah he sounds amazing. Sorry for your loss friend :( |
person A: I was feeling kind of down so I ended up snuggling with a stuffed rabbit I have. It brought back a lot of good old memories.
person B: Never too old or too manly to snuggle a stuffed animal. My mom said I used to carry this blanket with me when I was a toddler_comma_ everywhere I went. I wish I still had it. If I did_comma_ I'd consider using it again_comma_ or at the very least passing it down to my own kid. What's the harm_comma_ you know? If something gives you comfort and doesn't bother anyone else_comma_ there should be no shame.
person A: Awe yeah thanks. He's pretty soft even though he some derpy eye that point in opposite directions. Brings me a lot of comfort and reminds me that someone cares.
person B: Well_comma_ if I were you_comma_ I'd keep it up_comma_ whether or not my spouse laughed at me_comma_ or a new girlfriend/boyfriend_comma_ whatever. It's not childish to me. Life is stressful enough. Let us snuggle what we want. |
person A: My dog got hit by a car.
person B: Aw! That's horrible_comma_ I'm sorry to hear that.
person A: He did not live. I've never felt so sad before.
person B: That's so sad_comma_ I don't even know what to say! |
person A: Some random guy was in my backyard_comma_ I didn't realize before I looked outside that I was missing pants.
person B: Oh no! That is really creepy_comma_ why is he in your backyard?
person A: Turns out he was the cable guy fixing a wire. Still mad he didn't ask permisson first.
person B: Yeah_comma_ that's illegal I think_comma_ they need to at least knock or ring the door bell! |
person A: My family is still hasn't recovered from the untimely passing of my father two years ago.
person B: I am so sorry to hear that. It can't be easy for you and your family.

person A: I was really stressed out and grad school and had no choice but to drop out to keep my sanity.
person B: Good choice. You're health is more important than some grad degree.
person A: That is what I was thinking at the time_comma_ but I've been having a really tough time finding a job where I can advance into a higher position. I always seem to get positions with no mobility.
person B: I think nowadays employers just want experience. So it should be easier once you have that. |
person A: I tripped on some steps in front of a whole bunch of people on my way to class.
person B: Ah_comma_ I hate when that happens! How embarrassed were you?
person A: It was pretty humiliating. I fell flat on my face.

person A: I know I broke up with my ex_comma_ but I can't help but feel irritated when he talks about going on dates.
person B: That must be weird to talk to your ex still.
person A: We actually get along really well and are much better friends than a couple. I guess I still just get a littler territorial_comma_ i think he does too.
person B: You must have feelings for him that are lingering. |
person A: I can't wait to see my final grades. I think I got all A's this semester.

person B: That sounds cool! I bet she cooks good!
person A: She is pretty good for an eleven year old_comma_ better than I was.
person B: haha same here! |
person A: I had a secret and went to my mother to confide in her_comma_ as well as get off my chest. I know she would never betray my secret and can always count on her.
person B: I am so happy for you that you have someone you can trust so completely.

person B: that is really painful_comma_ i hope everything becomes better soon. |
person A: When my son first started college_comma_ I felt so much love and affection_comma_ but it was definitely hard to see him go! I was very proud though.
person B: where did he go study at? i can imagine how hard that could be. but it's good to see him following his dreams\

person B: An adult did this?
person A: Yes_comma_ and she had two children of her own_comma_ similar in age. Her son also weighed more than mine! She did it because my son rode his bike through the corner of her yard as rode around the circle_comma_ that made her mad! Can you believe that??
person B: I dont get people sometimes. Who does that that sort of thing. |

person B: That is always difficult. |
person A: A few weeks ago_comma_ my husband and I had a big argument. I said some pretty hurtful things_comma_ and wished I hadn't. I felt very bad and disappointed in myself afterwards.
person B: I am single and never been married. I assume arguments are part of marriage.
person A: Yes_comma_ that's true. I tend to be a bit more verbal on my end and say things I regret later.
person B: Im bad at giving advice especially to people I dont know. Im the opposite. Im too mellow. And that sometimes gets me in trouble. |
person A: One night when my kids and I came home_comma_ I saw a shadow in my hallway as I came in the back door. I was so scared and was afraid someone had broken in my home.
person B: In some ways that is a bit funny but it certainly can be a scary time to come home alone to an empty dark house.
person A: Yes_comma_ and I live out in the country so I wouldn't get a quick response time from emergency vehicles. But_comma_ luckily_comma_ it turned out to be my shadow!
person B: I hope you aren't still scared of your shadow? |
person A: There was a day that I was a bit short on cash on hand and I didn't give money to a homeless man. I usually always do_comma_ as I feel it's my part to help those in need_comma_ as I am blessed. I felt very bad that I didn't that day.
person B: I don't think you should feel too bad about missing one day! It sounds like you're generous regularly. I get it though.
person A: Well_comma_ homeless people aren't common in my area_comma_ so that's why I felt a bit bad about it.
person B: It's hard to see people and not be able to help. You seem really giving! |
person A: When my children were born_comma_ it was a rejoicing time for me. I can't think of a time I felt more happiness.
person B: Children are a beautiful thing for us parents. What a great memory you have of that.
person A: Yes_comma_ I have two children and I feel so blessed to have them. I lucked out and got a boy and girl_comma_ both healthy_comma_ smart and wonderful.
person B: Thats perfect_comma_ a boy and a girl thats what most people want. congrats. |
person A: I used to work in a place where all my colleagues had different believes to myself. I wanted to stay true to what I believed in_comma_ so had to walk away from conversations on many occasions.
person B: In what do you believe?
person A: Just that all people should be given an equal chance in life and that no one type of person is better than another_comma_ just because of their religion or skin color_comma_ or where they come from.
person B: That is great. In what do your colleagues believe?
person A: They believed that people of their religion where better than everyone else and were going to heaven_comma_ while the rest of us are left at the gate! That's one of their beliefs anyway. I don't agree with that_comma_ but chose to keep my mouth shut! |
person A: I recently bought a new car after not driving for several years and I was really scared to drive it_comma_ especially on the highway.
person B: What car did you buy?

person B: Jeez. Where do you live? I dont remember any state Ive been to with bad drivers. |
person A: I recently joined a group to help me lose weight. I have so much respect and admire everyone in that group so much.
person B: Good luck! My sister-in-law has been with weight watchers for a while now. She loves the camaraderie and how everyone encourages each other.
person A: It has really helped to have their support. I am so grateful for them
person B: You'll reach your goal. You just have to make small adjustments which'll sustain you throughout your life. How many meetings do you attend? |
person A: A few years ago I applied for US citizenship. To succeed you have to pass a Civics test. I was so terribly nervous!
person B: That test seems so hard. I probably couldn't even pass it. How did you do?
person A: I passed! Turns out you only had to answer three questions correctly. But they have 50 to choose from so you have to study the lot!
person B: I didn't know that. Congratulations. That's so awesome.
person A: Thank you. My poor husband had to sit every single night and test me. He's American and he didn't think he could pass! |
person A: I found some old Christmas cards the other day and had a lovely time reading them and reminiscing about the people who sent them.
person B: That must have been nice. I keep cards too.
person A: It was so nice. I'm terrible about throwing cards out. I feel_comma_ if someone's taken the time to write_comma_ I should preserve it. Does that sound silly?
person B: Of course not. There is so much paper in this house. I keep cards_comma_ photos_comma_ school projects. Everything. We arent here forever
person A: That's very true. My Dad kept everything too. When he passed we had quite a task sorting through things. I think my brother's still at it!
person B: I found lots of things to pass down when my grandmother passed. I think they passed down their hoarding to us lol
person A: I believe you are right! My family are going to go nuts when they see what they've got to deal with_comma_ lol.
person B: Lol. Me too!! |
person A: When I was entering the store it was really slippery.
person B: Why was it slippery

person B: Oh no_comma_ were you okay
person A: I was fine_comma_ just felt like every one was looking at me. |
person A: I am feeling a bit guilty about keeping a secret for my friend.
person B: Oh no. Why are you keeping the secret?
person A: I don't want to out her to her husband_comma_ usually the only thing that happens is they drop the friend.
person B: Oh it sounds like you are in a difficult situation. I hope you can get out of the middle of it!
person A: Thanks_comma_ I am just going to avoid them until it plays iteself out. |
person A: I feel kind of blue today_comma_ they announced the parts for the annual play.
person B: Oh I am sorry. Did you get any part?
person A: I did_comma_ and it is a good one_comma_ just not the one that I wanted. I didn't want the lead or anything.
person B: I am glad you got a good part. I am sure it is a let down to not get what you were hoping for though.
person A: It is_comma_ my friend got it_comma_ or I wouldn't think about it so much. Thanks for the kind words though. |
person A: I'm teaching my daughter how to drive_comma_ and so far_comma_ so good!
person B: That is wonderful_comma_ I imagine she is very excited.
person A: She is! At first_comma_ though_comma_ she was very nervous. I told her we could start off slow - her dad lives 1 mile from me down a quiet road_comma_ so we started driving back and forth between the two houses.
person B: Okay i see well_comma_ take your time she will be getting her liscense soon
person A: Hopefully by the first of the year. We've worked up to driving to the dollar store 5 miles away. She's still a little nervous but she's getting better and more confident the more we practice.
person B: She just needs to get her confidence and I am sure you are a great teacher.
person A: I do what I can where I can. Can't wait for our hard work to pay off and she gets her license!
person B: It will definitely paid off and I am rooting for her. |
person A: My house is a mess and I've got people coming over later on this evening.
person B: That can be overwhelming. Are you going to be cleaning all day then?
person A: I'm going to try to. If worst comes to worse_comma_ I'll just toss everything in my back bedroom_comma_ shiny up the floors and hope for the best! *chuckle*
person B: I'm sure you will get it done! |
person A: My brother and I recently had to sell a house and he dealt with everything. I'm so lucky to have a brother I can rely on and who I know won't try and con me.
person B: Thats neat. Do you guys make a lot of money?
person A: We did and he was so precise with who got what and made sure he sent me my share quickly. He's such a neat brother in so many regards. I always know he'll be there for anyone who needs help.
person B: I wish my siblings were like that. We should be more supportive and close like that
person A: We weren't always close. When we were kids we were always fighting. It wasn't until we got older that we got closer. We're best of friends now.
person B: I am jealous lol
person A: Don't be! There are many_comma_ many types of relationships and I don't think ours is necessarily typical. It's just the way it is :)
person B: I will work on it with my family. |
person A: My son was in advance placement and honors during high school. He went to a prestigious college after_comma_ going for as an Aerospace Engineer. He never ceases to astonish me with his intelligence and admire me with how hard he works to pursue his dreams.
person B: Wow! It sounds like your kid is quite smart and gifted! You must be really proud of him!
person A: I am quite proud_comma_ thank you! I also have a teenage daughter that is very smart and an amazing artist_comma_ (which I don't know where she gets that talent). They really impress me with amazing they are!

person A: Going out today to learn a new route for my job and I'm hoping that I don't get lost.
person B: Are you able to learn the route first before you have to take it for your job or are they kind of just throwing you into it?
person A: I got the assignment yesterday_comma_ and I told myself that I'd go drive around it today and tomorrow. My boss is supposed to ride along with me the first week_comma_ and then after that I'll be on my own.
person B: Well hopefully you're able to familiarize yourself quickly. Good luck! |
person A: I was over here in the US when my Grandma passed in Scotland. I was so upset - nobody could get hold of me to tell me and her funeral was over before I knew about it.
person B: Thats sad. Have you been to Scotand since?
person A: Only for funerals_comma_ unfortunately. Both my parents have since died. Unpleasant fact of life_comma_ I'm afraid.
person B: Im sorry to hear that. Were you born there?
person A: Yes I was. I didn't come to the US until I was in my 30s. Didn't expect my Grandma to pass the minute I got here_comma_ but she was 96_comma_ so it shouldn't have been such a surprise!
person B: 96! Wow. Thats a full life!
person A: She was as fit as a flea too. She tripped and broke her hip and got a bad infection in the hospital. That's what she died of!
person B: Wow. She probably couldve kept going for years if it wasnt for that. |
person A: I just bought an Xbox! I've never owned a gaming console before
person B: Excellent! Are you enjoying it?
person A: I am! I bought Halo and am ready to ride.
person B: Sick. I hope it's as fun as it looks! |
person A: My father passed away 2 years ago_comma_ but my mother lives in my neighborhood now. I'm so thankful she lives close by and still here with us. She's such a wonderful mother.
person B: I am glad that she is living close to you. That must make you feel special. My mom is dead so I understand how you feel.
person A: I'm sorry to hear that_comma_ I know it's so hard to lose a parent. I think we take them for granted when we are younger_comma_ but I am blessed she's still here.
person B: I am happy that your mom is still around. Cherish the days that you spend together. |
person A: I am as happy as a clam right now. My neighbors are away for the weekend!
person B: are they typically bad or something?
person A: The live upstairs and constantly thump around_comma_ screeching into their cellphones. And then there's the video games...
person B: Oh that makes sense_comma_ well enjoy the peace and quiet!
person A: Oh I am_comma_ believe me I am. The world seems like a calm_comma_ serene place where everything is just right! |
person A: My friend from across the continent came over yesterday! I was so happy about it

person A: We ended up hanging out and recording some audio. He is a voice actor
person B: that sounds fun! |
person A: I was out for a walk one night in a suburb of Boston when we heard the cries of a young animal. It was a baby kitten_comma_ with no collar_comma_ in a window well.
person B: Poor thing! What did you do? Did you take it home with you?
person A: We actually did_comma_ and ended up adopting him. He was still so young he needed formula_comma_ but now he is thriving!
person B: eww_comma_ that is great you took such great care of him. |
person A: I felt a need to help when the baby bird was by itself
person B: That 's nice of you. Did you keep it as a pet
person A: I did not_comma_ I was little but I think I put it back into a tree
person B: Cool. Some birds shouldn't be in captivity. What kind of bird was it |
person A: Waiting to see if I would graduate was pretty unnerving
person B: That is a nerve-racking experience. But I'm betting you did graduate and did just fine!
person A: Yep_comma_ had to take a class online over the summer but it worked out
person B: Congratulations! Waiting for results can be very stressful - everything's out of your hands and all you can do is wait. |
person A: I forgot my mother-in-law's birthday this year and can't look her in the eye!
person B: I'm sure she understands_comma_ just tell the truth!
person A: I just feel so embarrassed - she never forgets my birthday. And my husband was away and didn't remind me :(
person B: Yeah_comma_ I'd be pretty scared too_comma_ but it's better to be upfront about it to get it off your chest
person A: You're right. She's a very forgiving person and I've never forgotten before. It's on St. Paddy's day for heavens sake - how could I forget??? |
person A: I was the only one wearing pajamas at this party_comma_ not my greatest moment
person B: Oh boy. Did you not get the memo that you were supposed to be wearing a dress?

person A: I had some trippy nightmares as a kid_comma_ now I don't really have dreams
person B: Oh man_comma_ I did too. I still do every once in a while but only when I'm having trouble sleeping. Does one stand out from the rest that you remember vividly?
person A: Yeah_comma_ it was like I was tied to a chair and a huge thing was staring at me_comma_ pretty weird
person B: Creepy! I once had a dream of a Lion laying at the end of my bad. It was scary but also comforting. I feel like I could've touched it. Glad you're free of those dreams now. |
person A: I didn't realize that stealing was bad until I realized how it made me feel afterwards
person B: So you probably felt pretty guilty huh. Did you return what you stole?

person B: Glad to hear you stopped with your wayward habits before the Po Po caught up with you! |
person A: I was at a meditation retreat last year for 10 days and I can say that I experienced a better feeling there than I could ever remembe
