“So do mine”

“I bought tickets for a play Saturday night for us, Elma! And reservations for the Green Town picnic next ?”

“What’s that cologne you’ve got on?”

“No wonder we didn’t recognize each other!”

They looked at one another for a long time

“Well, let’s get home Isn’t it a beautiful day?”

“How about a little lunch?”

“Not hungry You?”

“Me neither”

“I sure like my new shoes”

“Mine, too”

“Well, what’ll we do the rest of the day?”
